EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE THE KEY TO DELIVERY BY MAIN CONTRACTOR LOWRY BUILDING & CIVIL ENGINEERING... TIGHT TIME FRAME

T o transform a greenfield site into a state-of-the-art factory and office suite in just 30-weeks might appear to be a tall order. Yet, that was exactly the challenge set by Telestack Ltd when they invested £5m in a new facility. To be constructed next to their existing 105,000sq ft design, manufacturing and export plant in Omagh’s Doogary Industrial Estate, it was to incorporate a modern workshop alongside a dedicated Research and Development Centre, and office accommodation for 40 employees. Picking up the gauntlet, main contractor Lowry Building & Civil Engineering was able to call on more than half a century of construction industry experience, marrying it with the latest technologies and trusted relationships forged with their supply chain partners. The result was delivery that in many ways made light of the testing turnaround time.

Starting in May, 2019, Lowry’s Contracts Manager, Graham Baskin, and Site Manager, Richard Turkington, co- ordinated a project that, at its peak, had 40 people on site. Together with the relatively condensed schedule for overall completion, Lowry Building was also required to have the factory floor operational by the end of 2019. Following closely on the heels of the new manufacturing facility was the office accommodation, with the keys to this 45,000sq ft addition to the Telestack building portfolio handed over in January 2020. “There’s no doubt this was a tight works programme, and it would not have been possible to complete without the skill and dedication of our workforce, and of course the support of our sub- contractors,” said Lowry’s Contracts Manager, Graham Baskin.
