We aim to provide buildings which are highly efficient in use and when ultimately dismantled are recyclable. 2 NANTGArw COLLEGE We regularly specify recycled materials hence reducing landfill with its associated costs. We regularly use suitable crushed demolition material and industrial waste, such as inert slag as filling materials. We specify that construction materials, where practical, are obtained from sustainable managed sources.

We have successfully incorporated rainwater harvesting systems into our designs on a number of recent schools projects. 06 Corporate Responsibility Customers Bingham Hall continues to actively develop mutually beneficial relationships with all those with whom we do business.
