Our Clients Tell Us

The Curtins team have been supporting the University of the West of England (UWE) in the development and maintenance of our estate for more than 10 years, and continually add value to our projects. With Curtins’ experience in the higher education sector, they reliably deliver the best outcomes for us. Most notably, the team have worked on UWE’s largest project on its Frenchay Campus to date, which has seen the delivery of one of the country’s largest Passivhaus schemes. The team from Curtins were instrumental both in the design stages and in a Technical Advisor capacity during construction on the structural and civils areas, and were invaluable in raising and closing out defects at the early stages of the concrete frame construction.
