The principal contractor, Highwood, required
the Deanery project
to be completed in 12 months. SC4’s experienced team of timber
frame erectors and slinger/signallers has completed on time,
and with some complex radius timber frame interior and exterior
walls thrown in for good measure.

A total of 16,000 sqm of disproportionate
collapse timber frame
including a mix of five/six-storey high structures and three/four
storey blocks were completed using a hired-in mobile crane from
SC4’s supplier Marsh Plant.
