It also includes improvements to the garage’s flat roof and the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of roof-mounted solar photovoltaic systems, with associated electrical and structural work. The aim is to provide safe, weatherproof and durable buildings, reduce maintenance needs and generate renewable energy. This is building construction work (CPV 45210000). Delivery is at Westonbirt Arboretum, Gloucestershire.
