Education
Art Contracts Ltd is able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the sensitive nature of working within an environment containing children. By their nature children are very inquisitive, and what could be more appealing to a developing mind than a construction site. The welfare and safe being of any individual is paramount, and should always be treated as such, but with children it always seems to take on another dimension. The idealistic time to carry out school works is during the summer holiday break, but with larger contracts they cannot always be completed within this time frame. As such, Art Contracts Limited is appreciative of the need to schedule deliveries around drop off/pick up times and break times.
