QUALITY PERFORMANCE
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECT OF THE YEAR HIGHLY COMMENDED: BELL CONTRACTS & CO, WALLACE HIGH SCHOOL, LISBURN Earning its place as a highly commended project, Wallace High School offers a scalable, pragmatic model for school retrofits across Northern Ireland. Demonstrating how a step-by- step retrofit can deliver substantial impact in a live education setting, the project cut heating demand by 30% and achieved annual carbon savings of 104 tonnes. Outdated single-glazed curtain walling, windows and entrance doors were replaced with modern, thermally efficient double- glazing systems. External wall insulation was applied and finished with a robust cladding system, with the project also delivering upgraded mechanical ventilation and AC systems. Completed with minimal disruption to pupils and staff, the scheme combined practicality with strong sustainability measures, including over 90% waste diversion.
FIT-OUT PROJECT OF THE YEAR WINNER: WILLIAM ROGERS CONSTRUCTION, ANTRIM FORUM LEISURE CENTRE Delivering high-spec modern facilities catering to the needs of fitness enthusiasts of all levels and interests, William Rogers Construction has achieved a complete transformation of the look and feel of Antrim Forum Leisure Centre. The Centre opened in 1972 as the first and largest multi-use activity centre in Northern Ireland. This project undertook to improve and modernise the facilities and upgrade the centre’s service offering to its wide-ranging client base. The Centre remained open while extensive refurbishment works were undertaken to fitness studios, changing rooms, corridors, roofing and swimming pools. Requiring careful planning and co-ordination between the Centre management team and contractor, a close collaborative relationship was established and maintained throughout the project.
