Uponor were nominated as the sole supplier for radiant heating systems for the Sunesis Schools schemes, with Main Contractor Willmott Dixon. Sunesis is a Joint Venture between Scape and Willmott Dixon, built on the combined experience of public sector know-how and private expertise. They are the market leader in delivering pre-designed buildings across a range of market sectors. Every design has a defined layout, specification, fixed cost and timescale to construct. The full benefits of a full BIM model are also utilised. By providing certainty of programme, cost and quality from day one, Sunesis allows you to concentrate on those things most important to you. Everything is delivered through an OJEU-compliant framework and utilises a tried and tested efficient process. Uponor are delighted to be one of the strategic partners to Sunesis and Willmott Dixon and are committed to a philosophy of continuous improvement.

Uponor engaged with Willmott Dixon and DW Pointer (M&E Consultants) in the early design stages to provide a bespoke radiant heating system design to suit the project requirements. Furthermore Uponor worked closely with the site team throughout the construction phase utilising its in-house Special Projects team (Uponor Building Energy Ltd) to provide on-site installation, supervision and contract management.

The Benefits

“The key drivers in the selection process were finding a company that welcomed a standardised approach. This
company needed to demonstrate good quality product, design and value. This partnership will help ensure the Sunesis brand continues to deliver a high quality product in a cost effective way. From the start of the process Uponor showed
a professional approach and a passion for their product. This gave us complete confidence that Uponor was the right
choice.”
