Small Works

Small works are projects up to £200,000 construction cost. They are called small works because a simpler form of contract is often used to administer the building operation. Despite the name, these are significant sums of money. All budgets must be managed carefully.

​Dronfield is a town in North East Derbyshire, England, which includes Dronfield Woodhouse and Coal Aston. It lies in the valley of the River Drone between Chesterfield and Sheffield. The Peak District National Park is three miles (4.8 km) to the west. The name means open land infested with drones (male bees).

The town existed before the 1086 Domesday Book, and has a 13th-century parish church. In 1662, Charles II granted the town a market, although this later ceased. The industrial history of the town includes coal mining, the wool trade, the production of soap and steel, and engineering. Today a range of manufacturing firms still operate in the town.

Dronfield's population increased dramatically in the post-war years from 6,500 in 1945 to its current size of just over 21,000.[1]

The football ground to the north of the town is currently the home of Sheffield F.C., the world's oldest football club.
