Construction firm Sisk nominates Hueck UK as preferred supplier
Posted on 01/07/2016
The UK arm of international construction contractor John Sisk & Son, part of the family-run SISK Group, has chosen aluminium building systems specialist, Hueck UK, as preferred supplier for future projects.
The development follows a very successful collaboration between the two companies at the recently completed Rathbone Market regeneration scheme, which has seen the creation of more than 650 new homes, alongside community areas and retail spaces.
Ange Francis, Façade Manager at John Sisk & Son, said: “We were involved in the Rathbone Market project right from the early stages and worked with Hueck to deliver the high performances and look that the client and architect wanted, while firmly controlling the costs.
“Hueck’s design capabilities, their extremely wide and versatile collection of products, and their expert approach to the architect’s design and contractor’s implementation have all contributed to the successful completion of Rathbone Market, and the subsequent announcement of an even closer collaboration with John Sisk & Son on future projects,” added Ange.
A preferred supplier status is becoming increasingly important, as an earlier and tighter project collaboration between architects, contractors and building envelope specialists is now deemed necessary in order to ensure effective cost control while meeting the desired performances and requirements.
Leon Friend, Hueck UK Project Development Director, said: “It has been a privilege to work alongside Sisk and CZWG Architects on this project and help deliver high standards of housing and living in the Canning Town area. There were strict requirements for effective noise reduction as the project is situated close to the busy A13 road. We used our Lambda 77 L inward and outward opening windows and doors, boasting a sound insulation level of 46 dB, to deliver excellent comfort for the end-user.
“The contractor’s early involvement in the project and close collaboration with us and the architect meant that the specification process was extremely accurate right from the beginning. We are delighted to be named preferred partners by John Sisk & Son and look forward to the joint projects ahead,” concluded Leon.
“To see such a major project growing from its incipient phase through to completion gives me incredible satisfaction,” said Ange. “This requires trusted, reliable suppliers, and that is exactly what we found in Hueck UK.”
With similar trading histories, John Sisk & Son and Hueck UK have been supplying high levels of construction and engineering expertise for over 155 years and 200 years respectively, driven by the same objectives - quality, innovation and professionalism.
