£700,000
This project consisted of the
construction of eight one
bedroom social housing flats in a
two storey block and a staff
accommodation in the central
section of the buildings eaves;
one of these flats had to be
designed to provide access and
amenities for a disabled person.
The building was of traditional
construction with precast
concrete stairs and floor. The
contract also included the
construction of a new car park
and drainage attenuation system.
This project had many challenges this includes conforming to 18 planning conditions and
complying with various regulatory bodies e.g. Safe by Design, Code for Sustainable
Homes and NHBC. The site itself was small which meant storage of materials on site were
limited, this was overcome with small and well organised deliveries to minimise the
amount of materials on site at one time. The site also sat alongside a conservation area
which meant extra care was to be taken down the affected face of the building, alongside
adhering to very specific specifications to ensure the building tied in with conservation
requirements.
