ABOUT CAPITAL PROPERTY & CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANTS LTD

St James the Great Roman Catholic Primary School instructed Capital to provide solutions for a dedicated library and provide solutions to achieve a cohesive Foundation Stage Unit at the School.  Capital successfully completed the design and obtained the grant funding for both projects from the EFA (Education Funding Agency). St James the Great’s layout did not allow the school to have its Nursery and Reception classes as a cohesive Foundation Stage Unit.  This project was to relocate the Reception classes, (currently remote from the Nursery), into the space occupied by Infants to form the Foundation Stage Unit / Early Years Wing to the school.  The Early Years is created using 130m² of existing floor space currently used as Infant Classes and 36m² of new build extension.

Following the multi-award-winning success of the previous scheme, Exeter Road, Capital were commissioned to take on an even larger retrofit project to 8 tower blocks with ECO funded external wall insulation and associated works to two towers, a district heating project using ground source heat pump technology to four towers and an air source district heating scheme to four towers. An innovative ground source heat pump scheme utilising a 205m deep communal ground loop which accesses stored solar energy beneath the ground was proposed for the Channel Island Blocks/Eastfield Road Estate.
