BCCL were commissioned by Oxford Castle’s project management company to undertake various carpentry packages that fell out of the remit of other contractors working on the project. Work packages included: Roofs, Flooring, Balcony’s, Timber Decking and the construction of the Pergola which was located in the entrance to the courtyard. BCCL were invited to the grand opening which was opened by Her Majesty the Queen. This project is one that we value a great deal due to the accreditations the project received after, to name a few British Home Awards, The Mail on Sunday, Mixed-Used Development of the year, Oxford Preservation Trust Environmental Awards and much more!
