Phoenix Brickwork’s scaffolding division continues to grow after winning a £1.2M scaffolding contract in Birmingham.

BMH Scaffolding, part of the Phoenix Brickwork group of companies, has recently started work on a new, £1.2m contract win to supply extensive scaffolding services for a major new residential project in Edgbaston, Birmingham.

Within a week of the appointment, teams from BMH Scaffolding began installation on this huge residential and retail block, to ensure that the full structure would be ready for the next phase.

The scaffolding element is scheduled to take 52 weeks of the overall 138-week construction plan and is challenging in both timings and scale.

The project involves in excess of 1000 tonnes of independent scaffolding with loading bays and stair towers, installed up to 18 storeys high.

BMH Scaffolding’s site manager, Kevin Mee, said “With a project of this size, it’s important to make a fast and efficient start. Our expert team of almost two dozen scaffolders is already delivering impressive progress in all areas, to make sure that multiple elevations are ready, in time for the next stages of construction.”

Phoenix Brickworks’ Chairman, Christian Watson, celebrates this impressive new win for his group; “This is yet another terrific win for BMH Scaffolding, part of the Phoenix Brickwork group of companies, demonstrating the breadth and depth of our offering to main contractors, and our ability to handle ever-larger projects.

“Our growth across the country continues from North to South, despite the challenges of Covid restrictions, and is testament to the quality, expertise and industry knowledge of our workforce.”

With a turnover now exceeding £25m, Phoenix Brickwork is fast becoming a key player in the national sub-contracting landscape.
