West Midlands based I B Construction have completed an impressive new building for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at New Penkridge Road, Cannock. The £1.9m development took just under 11 months from start to finish and combines a steel-framed brick and stone clad construction with contemporary architectural finishes. The modern design comprises of a large chapel, meeting rooms, passenger lift and is crowned by a stainless steel spire.

The local environment was of prime concern before the construction works commenced. I B Construction liaised with the local authority, placing particular importance to landscaping and existing trees. To this extent the soft and hard landscaping has been designed to ensure natural drainage to the trees on and surrounding the site.

The new Church is located in an area of high value residential properties and had difficult site access issues, however these were resolved and good relationships were established with the local residents.

I B Construction was delighted to receive complimentary correspondence from nearby residents congratulating them on the quality of the build as well as the consideration and professionalism with which it was carried out.

The keys for the Church were presented to Mr Bill Fee, Facilities Manager on April 4th 2005 in preparation for the opening on Sunday 10th April 2005.
