The contract was won under the Constructing West Midlands (CWM) framework for Birmingham City Council (BCC). The Pines is one of eight schools that Morgan Sindall will be working on in the region through the framework.

The Pines School project comprises a £6.9m refurbishment of the derelict Josiah Mason College and Canavan building on Marsh Hill, which is due to complete in autumn 2016. The project will result in the relocation of The Pines School from its current location at Dreghorn Road.

Morgan Sindall area director Richard Fielding said; “This school will be of a huge benefit to its pupils and their families. It is a project we are very proud to be involved in.”

Morgan Sindall is in a consortium with sister company Lovell on the multi-contractor CWM framework.  The consortium, called Community Solutions, has had its role on Lot 7 of the framework extended. This covers major capital projects with a value in excess of £500,000.
