Our temporary solution enables us to respond rapidly and deliver additional education facilities to you when you need them most. Whether you need temporary classrooms due to RAAC or additional teaching space to keep up with the demand for school places, we have a solution to suit. Our temporary buildings can be rented or purchased, and can be extended, repurposed or relocated, providing you with ultimate flexibility.
We provide permanent design and build solutions to the healthcare sector, managing projects from conception, through design and manufacture to completion. We use a platform-based approach with standardised, repeatable components which enables us to create flexible, highly configurable spaces. Early engagement and consistent collaboration with our clients enables faster and better decision making, and our consultative style includes an open BIM approach to achieve consistently high levels of customer satisfaction.
Committed to circular construction
McAvoy employs a circular construction approach to its design, planning and manufacturing processes. This philosophy enables us to repurpose temporary buildings where appropriate and drives our sharp focus on recycling materials where possible to reach zero waste to landfill.
Minimising disruption
Minimising disruption to teaching is an absolute priority for McAvoy. We will maximise construction and fitting out offsite and schedule module installation for holiday periods and quieter times wherever possible.
Our aim is to exceed expectations every time with our inspiring modular space solutions.
Procurement options
We work as a key partner on a number of public sector frameworks for education buildings, including NHS Shared Business Services, Offsite Construction Solutions Framework, LHC Modular Buildings Framework and SEWSCAP. We also offer a highly flexible financing option which allows educational institutions to increase capacity using modular construction with a highly flexible operating lease option.
