| 10 January 1958 | | Proposed | 'Alison, Hutchison and Partners, architects, of Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh, have guaranteed to Stirling Education Committee that they will have a school completed by January 1959, at a cost of at least five per cent. under the 66s. per sq. ft. standard laid down by the Scottish Education Department. Low cost and speed of handling were attributed to the following factors: (1) ...nominated contractor and not put out to tender...(2)...contractor...taken into consultation from the drawing board stage. (3) Careful attention....to site organisation (4) use of prestressed factory-made column and beam framework and roofing slabs...enabled lighter foundations...(5) Concrete...so finished that plastering is not required.' per 'Cut Price Building' in Builder 10 January 1958 p116 |
