The RC Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle

Thornton-Firkin LLP have been working on school projects with The RC Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle since 2001 and are on their approved consultants list providing project management, cost control and CDM Co-ordinator services. During the intervening period we have managed in excess of 100 projects in Primary and Secondary schools, the majority of which need to be planned, designed, tendered and built in a 4-5 month period to co-incide with the school summer recess.

As well as ensuring the successful delivery of many smaller projects ranging in value from £20,000 to £250,000, Thornton-Firkin LLP have managed a number of larger projects during term times which need to ensure as little disruption to core teaching disciplines and providing clear definition between construction and school activities, all in a live environment.  Examples being the amalgamation of split site (lower/upper schools at Sacred Heart High School, Newcastle (value £9m), the two phase Creation of Modern Learning Facilities at Carmel College, Darlington (value £13.4m), new build 6th Form Centre and general school adaptations at English Martyrs School, Hartlepool (£5.4m) and currently on site a new science building and english department refurbishment at St Thomas More School, Gateshead (£2.4m).
