Rolleston Christian School

Classroom works delivered around an operating school.

Rolleston Christian School

RPC's second project for The Christian Schools' Trust: a cedar-clad new teaching block with enhanced AV and technology teaching spaces.

The team worked closely with the principal of the school to make sure her students could enjoy the construction process without interrupting their studies.

RPC provided advice on buildability, which reduced risk and cost for the client.

Staff and students at Rolleston Christian School are enjoying their new learning space.

During the build

RPC-M56PhotoThe cedar cladding going on: framing, building wrap and cedar part-fixed, so the material RPC's own account names reads as a build rather than as a finish.3/2 · min 1600px wide
RPC-M57PhotoThe new teaching space in use: a class working in it, shot on a normal school day rather than staged. Permission required from the school and from parents, and the school should approve the frame before it is published. This one can be shot now; the building is finished and occupied.3/2 · min 3000px wide

RPC met our tight tender deadline, they also presented us with the most comprehensive tender document along with the most competitive price, one that was within our very tight budget. I am pleased to say that RPC Construction has been one of the best firms that I have had the pleasure of dealing with and I have no hesitation in giving them one of the highest rating that I have given in any previous reference.
