Former Oxford House → Lexden Hall School, Colchester
This was a big one. 👊
A complete 17-week renovation and modernisation programme, with £1 million of works delivered, transforming the former Oxford House into Lexden Hall School and bringing the building fully up to date and compliant with current Building Regulations and Building Control requirements.
With the Ofsted registration deadline approaching, the whole team really stepped up. We worked nights, weekends and whatever hours were needed to keep the project moving and get it over the line.
A huge thank you to everyone at EC Build, along with all of our subcontractors and suppliers, who put the hours in to make this happen.
And equally, a big thank you to the client, Matt and Craig from the project management team, and Headmaster David and his team at Lexden Hall School.
This genuinely became a joint team effort, with everyone working together towards the same goal.
17 weeks. £1 million of works. One major transformation.
Some projects deserve a little more than the usual before-and-after post, and this is definitely one of them.
This is one of those projects we’re really proud of — not just because of the finished result, but because of the effort, teamwork and commitment it took from everyone involved to deliver it.
