13 about as a result of ongoing construction work. A great example of this came last summer, when the team completed a knock-through classroom extension for a primary school, executing the job over the summer to make sure not a single teaching day was lost. “Then, at the same time, we completed an entrance improvement contract in a separate school, which we again finished with no school days lost.” Whether Lakeland Building is leveraging its skills as a minor school work contractor across Cumbria or performing some if its commercial main contractor services, the way it approaches projects is the same – with this rigorous method leading to successful outcomes. Talking us through this process in more detail, Nathan shared: “The main thing to ensure is thorough pre-start planning with a robust decisionmaking system in place, accompanied with an agreed fixed-contract sum and sufficient contingency.” Although not very glamorous, getting these basics laid out makes sure the small team here have the provisions in place to source quality materials and the right support for the job. They often use the same subcontractors for this work, teams they trust and know they can get the most out of, which only adds to the results-driven reputation Lakeland Building has established. This is something that is also rooted in the company’s value system, which is based around areas such as expertise, quality, and innovation. Markers of these values can be found in some more of the recent projects the company has worked on, outside of the school environment as well as within it. Despite this praise, these luxury homebuilders and Airbnb renovation experts in Cumbria and the Lake District remain as humble as ever, refuting any titles or monikers and simply reinforcing that they are a team of skilled, hardworking tradespeople who feed off their shared experiences and the great network of subcontractors they have built to support them. “Above all, we are just your usual contractors with a passion for completing projects with tight timescales and a commitment to not impeding teaching programmes when we work on behalf of schools and educational institutions.” With this selflessness to boot, Nathan shares that the company has multiple projects in the pipeline for its valued clients over the coming months, as well as an initiative in place to support further expansion through a strong chain of subcontractors. Whilst the company more than has enough work to keep ticking over, it is always on the lookout for more projects across its many areas of expertise, from minor school work to apartment conversions and house renovations, with immediate availability in some cases. A company that is forever humble, recognises its strengths, and – perhaps most importantly – is aware of its limits, Lakeland Building Limited’s spotless track record, personalised service, and qualityfirst approach set it apart in this space. Even if Nathan himself is a lot more modest about the success the company achieves, we have recognised its contributions to the people and communities of Cumbria and the Lake District and are immensely proud to name these minor school work contractors as winners in this programme.
