Our project to refurbish and reconfigure Pavey House is in full swing with our contractor, ISG plc. Already they are over half-way through the project schedule and everything is on track. Paul Jagroop, father of two scouts in 7th Bristol, has been doing an absolutely stellar job running the project from our side and keeping on top of the plethora of amendments, decisions and outstanding tasks to ensure everything is communicated to ISG ‘just in time’. 

So far everything has gone largely to plan. A few unforeseen complications, as one would expect, including a partially collapsed drain, bonkers electrics, and some wildly differing floor levels. However, ISG are really pulling out the stops and taking most of the additional work (and its cost) in their stride. We’re so grateful to them.

Budget-wise, we are slightly over budget due to a couple of additions to the scope of works which have been agreed between our GSL, Fi, and Paul. However, ISG has absorbed much of the cost of the numerous little (and large) extras here and there as mentioned above.

Below are some photos of the work in progress to give you a taste of what’s happening. We can’t wait to have the building back some time in June ready for us to use for the latter part of the summer term.

Celebrating the signature of the Pavey House Renovation project contract

A landmark moment at the 7th Bristol last night. After a 3 year journey the Chair and the Treasurer signed the contract to upgrade the 7th Bristol HQ, Pavey House. Hundreds and hundreds of hours have been invested in making this project happen. £76,000 funding was raised in the last 5 months alone. A fantastically supportive and generous contractor, ISG plc, are delivering the whole project for us and donating their services. Brilliant teamwork by all involved, and setting the Group up for an exciting future…
