Description:

This project was a construction that involved 283 apartments across six 5-storey blocks, along with 19 townhouses, retail units, and hospitality facilities.

This project differed from our usual scope as it was built using a Metek frame, with all components manufactured off-site and installed on-site in a panelised system.

This approach made the project challenging from both a construction and procurement perspective, as we were working to meet Balfour Beatty’s fast-track programme.

The Metek soffits required 100mm Rockwool insulation throughout the 302 units, with resilient bars fixed at 600mm centres, two layers of 15mm Fireline, and a fire/smoke tape finish.

Given the vast quantity of materials required, the logistics strategy had to be meticulously planned and executed in collaboration with Balfour Beatty’s logistics department.

Our logistics plan was the cornerstone of completing our construction programme on time, allowing us to deliver 1st and 2nd fix tape and jointing to an exceptional standard of quality.
