RAAC Tenders & Bid Writing Support
As the UK construction industry faces the challenges posed by reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) in buildings, contractors with the expertise and experience to undertake remediation projects are in high demand!
Thornton & Lowe, a leading bid and tender writing company with over 15 years of experience in bidding for construction projects. We help construction companies win government contracts, frameworks, and public sector tenders and we are seeing an increasing number of RAAC remediation projects, which can be both complex and competitive.
The RAAC Challenge and Opportunities for Contractors
RAAC is a lightweight building material that was widely used in the UK between the early 1960s and mid-1990s, particularly in public sector buildings. However, the material has been found to pose serious risks due to its susceptibility to moisture penetration and corrosion of the reinforcement, leading to potential structural failures.
As the UK government and private sector address the risks posed by RAAC, contractors with the expertise to identify, assess, and remediate affected buildings will play a crucial role in creating safer, higher-quality structures.
