Admiral Lord Nelson School, Portsmouth

Client:

Portsmouth City Council

Main contractor:

Neilcott Construction Ltd

Architect:

Portsmouth City Council

One of several new school extensions being undertaken by the client within Portsmouth to meet increased pupil numbers within the region.

SRE undertook the initial BREEAM advice, Energy Modelling and assessment in support of the planning application to address Portsmouth City Council planning policies for achieving an ‘Excellent’ rating. SRE has subsequently supported Neilcott Construction as part of the delivery of the scheme post-planning.

Through early engagement, SRE has not only informed the design process but enabled the scheme to address a range of early stage criteria that has enabled the school extension to be on track for delivering a robust ‘Excellent’ rating.

"We have worked with SRE for since 2014, in that time they have provided excellent, insightful and pragmatic advice covering multiple standards and building types including commercial development, residential and public buildings. They are our first choice for professional practical sustainable advise and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others."
