An educated choice_
AG has developed exceptional expertise in many
areas, with teams of specialist engineers and
designers able to provide expert advice on each
element of the structure.
Buildingsdesignedforeducationneedmaterialsthat:
• are strong and durable, capable of giving many
years’ service with little or no maintenance;
• offer real value for money as both construction
and maintenance budgets are tight;
• bring benefits that will help to achieve a high
BREEAM rating;
• facilitate good design and are aesthetically
pleasing as well as being practical.
With the widest range of concrete construction
production available AG can provide a continuity of
service through the entire project.
Contractors can simplify supply - sourcing all
concrete products from one reliable manufacturer.
