An educated choice_AG has developed exceptional expertise in many areas, with teams of specialist engineers and designers able to provide expert advice on each element of the structure.
Buildings designed for education need materials that:
• are strong and durable, capable of giving many years’ service with little or no maintenance;
• o� er real value for money as both construction and maintenance budgets are tight;
• bring benefi ts that will help to achieve a high BREEAM rating;
• facilitate good design and are aesthetically pleasing as well as being practical.
With the widest range of concrete construction production available AG can provide a continuity of service through the entire project.
Contractors can simplify supply - sourcing all concrete products from one reliable manufacturer.
