“The service, communication and quality of work were fantastic throughout the programme. The site manager, Kane Foster, worked closely with our staff and was very responsive to any requests working flexibly to accommodate our needs as a working school. We felt we had a very positive working relationship with Stepnells and their door was always open.

I wish to thank the construction team for all their hard work and professionalism over the project. Any disruption was kept to a minimum and communication between school and the team was strong throughout. The work has had very positive impact on the school environment and rooms are now much more pleasant to learn in since the work was completed.”

“Stepnell was selected from day one through an open tender process, and they have been absolutely key to delivering this outstanding facility. The level of workmanship Stepnell has delivered here is outstanding, ranging from the cladding system and brick wall detail all the way through to the strength and conditioning suite floor and ceiling grid options.

What makes the building truly outstanding includes the elements you don’t see; the mechanical and electrical work has really delivered on solar panels and sustainable heat source pumps. This is a state-of-the-art building for the future that without a shadow of a doubt delivers everything we want for the next 20 years, providing students with spaces like a Premier League standard handball facility designed specifically around their ability to develop performance skills.”

“Stepnell consistently demonstrated a clear understanding of our vision: restoring Aylesford School into safe, high-quality, modern learning environments. Throughout a complex project, they delivered high-specification spaces that will benefit our students and staff for years to come.

What stood out most was their collaborative approach. Stepnell worked in genuine partnership with us, maintaining day-to-day school operations safely while bringing added social value to our community. We are proud of what we’ve achieved together and confident we had the right partner for this project.”

“The learning resource centre was a complex project where we were dealing with limited space and a live site where normal school day to day activity had to continue.

From pre-construction contract engagement to building strong stakeholder relationships and engaging pupils on careers in construction, Stepnell’s quality of service far exceeded our expectations.

By keeping disturbances to a minimum and the ability to adapt and pivot where necessary, this led to a very successful conclusion where all required outcomes were met. We simply wouldn’t have the amazing building that we have now for our students without Stepnell.”
