PROJECT

WARINGSTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HALL

MOSS CONSTRUCTION (NI) LTD DELIVERS AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY HALL PROJECT TO WARINGSTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH… COMMUNITY HALL PROJECT WINS CEF EXCELLENCE AWARD

E xecuting the highest standard of quality finishes and prioritising energy efficiency and low carbon design earned Moss Construction a CEF Excellence Award in 2022 for its community hall project at Waringstown Presbyterian Church. Awarding it with the General Construction Project of the Year Above £1m accolade, judges were impressed with the well-executed detailing particularly in relation to feature brickwork. Heated and cooled by air source heat pumps operating in conjunction with PV panels and heat recovery on the

mechanical ventilation, the 1,300m2 building attained an EPC A rating – highly unusual for a scheme of this size. The electrical installation included LED strip lighting, extensive AV installation and a new passenger lift. The two-storey building was constructed using a steel frame on trench-filled foundations with facing brick external walls, curtain walling and a PVC flat roof. The brickwork on the south elevation, which caught the judges’ attention features protruding bricks, pre-cut and laid in columns of alternating heights. “We were delighted to receive our second CEF Excellence Award

for the work we carried out for Waringstown Presbyterian Church,” said Martin McIntyre, Senior QS for Moss Construction (NI) Ltd. “The client asked us to deliver a new facility to accommodate its growing congregation and which could also be utilised by the local community. To this end, we provided creche facilities, a multi-purpose sports hall, a youth area, catering facilities, toilets, offices and meeting rooms.” The job was tendered in January 2020, with an original start date of March that year, postponed until February 2021 following the initial Covid-19 lockdown.

“We liaised regularly with the client’s QS, providing quotations and cost updates as required without delay.”
