Abstract: Given a group action on a simplicial complex such that each simplex stabiliser admits a cocompact model of classifying space for proper actions, we give conditions implying the existence of a cocompact model of classifying space for proper actions for the whole group. This is used to generalise previous combination results for boundaries of groups and hyperbolic groups.
