Miller to refurbish 19 courts

7 Jan 13 Miller Construction has been awarded work to refurbish 19 court houses in the north of England.

The contract has been given the work in two packages through the Ministry of Justice Strategic Alliance Agreement Framework for the North.

The courts are in Durham, Cleveland, Northumbria, in a separate package, Yorkshire.

Works are programmed to start this month.

The projects in Durham, Cleveland and Northumbria cover 14 court houses and include upgrading of electrical infrastructure, Building Management System (BMS) replacements and new boiler plant room equipment.

The Yorkshire package is spread across five courts and comprises new access lifts, new boiler plant room equipment, replacement glazing and new court seating.

All of the courts will remain fully operational throughout the works which have been programmed to maximise efficiencies and ensure minimum disruption to court sitting time and other day to day operations.

Miller was a new contractor to the framework when it was announced early last year, and is one of five contractors to be appointed to the Northern Framework.

Miller Construction chief executive Chris Webster said: “These are significant contracts for us and quickly follow on from our appointment at Manchester Crown Court, which was also the first contract let on the framework.  We are committed to framework working, and look forward to delivering these works to the high standards, that we consistently deliver and, that our clients expect from us.

 “This framework was a key win for us last year, and we remain fully committed to it for the next six years.  Justice was one of our emerging markets throughout 2012 and I am delighted we are broadening our exposure to the market through the addition of contracts that will see us build on our experience in this area.”
