Pivotal to the bid that secured the contract were framework manager Claire and commercial manager Suzie.

Thrilled to be a civil engineering contractor to keep the UK’s main road infrastructure fit for purpose

Group managing director Ben Staff said: “We are thrilled to be chosen as one of the civil engineering contractors to keep the UK’s main road infrastructure fit for purpose.

“We are proud to have been chosen to deliver this work over the next six years as this gives our committed workforce confidence in our future.

“The work Claire and Suzie have done – not just on the bid, but also on the existing framework with National Highways – has been central to our success and they deserve high praise. We know they will run this for us with the same professionalism and enthusiasm over the coming months and years.”

Lorries and plant are a familiar sight on construction and highways projects across the region

The company, which started life in 1974 as a small plant and tipper hire business from its HQ in Marshfield near Bath, has grown to become a multi-million-pound earthworks, civil engineering, plant and waste management contractor. Its lorries and plant are a familiar sight on construction and highways projects across the region. Founders Mike and Paula Church are still involved in the company and their son Tom is the plant and transport director.

Sites including Marshfield and Chippenham

Sites include its head office at Marshfield, contracting division office in Chippenham, five waste transfer stations in Swindon, Allington, Malmesbury and Warmley.

Civil engineer Claire has worked in the construction industry for 26 years and has been part of major projects like the Queens Jubilee Bridge in London.

A company that inspires and cares for its staff

She said: “I love my job and I’ve loved being an engineer from the very first day my career began. I was always interested in construction, went on to do construction at college and later a degree in civil engineering at the University of Plymouth. Working with the team at MJ Church has been wonderful, it’s a company that inspires and cares for its staff and I’m looking forward to leading the framework team through its next chapter.”

SAP Calculations vs. SBEM: Understanding the Differences

SAP and SBEM calculations are integral to evaluating the energy performance of buildings across the UK, each catering to distinct types of structures. SAP is dedicated to domestic dwellings, offering a detailed assessment that encompasses factors like insulation, heating, and construction materials, thereby ensuring accurate reflection of energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Conversely, SBEM is tailored for non-domestic buildings, employing a streamlined approach to determine energy consumption and carbon emissions, essential for compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations and generating Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). By distinguishing between these calculation methods, building professionals can make informed decisions to enhance energy efficiency and adhere to regulatory standards.

Air Testing for Extensions: What Homeowners Need to Know

Air testing for extensions is a crucial process that measures the air permeability of your new extension, ensuring compliance with specific building regulations. This test helps identify potential leaks, confirming if your building envelope is properly sealed. Effective air tightness reduces energy consumption, minimises heat loss, and enhances indoor comfort while lowering carbon emissions. To prepare, you should seal all gaps and cracks, temporarily seal ventilation systems, close all doors and windows, and inspect insulation. Professional assistance from experts like Ratio Seven can ensure thorough preparation and accurate results, making your home extension more energy-efficient and comfortable.
