Neilcott was appointed to design and construct eight new three-storey townhouses across two separate site locations on former garage sites. The new dual aspect townhouses are affordable homes for social rent, built as three-bedroom homes, designed especially for families to address local need, with each designed for up to five people. Each house features its own private garden, with practical attractive landscaping, planting and paving. High quality materials were used, including brick in-keeping with the surrounding buildings. In-line with Westminster City Council’s Climate Emergency declaration, the new homes have been built to modern highly energy-efficient specifications. Neilcott has been instrumental in developing tender specifications to maximise the C02 reduction for the scheme to around 57% through: Additional PV panels Increased wattage of the original PVs shown at planning stage Gas fired boilers with flue heat recovery Enhanced building fabric u-values Detailed early logistics planning and community engagement has been critical to ensure H&S interface and minimise disruption to residents living in close proximity to the works.

Alfriston School

ALFRISTON SCHOOL Live SEN Residential Site Specialist design Complex Logistics Info box:Client: Alfriston SchoolArchitect: Ellis Williams ArchitectsM&E Consultant: Max Fordham              Cost Constultant: Measur                  Value: £1.7m Alfriston School is a state-funded girls school with Academy status catering for secondary-age day and boarding pupils between the ages of 11 and 18 with a wide range of special educational needs. The school has day places for up to 120 pupils and provides residential care for 20 of those pupils. Most pupils have moderate learning difficulties, and a large majority have additional needs, such as speech, language and communication difficulties, sensory impairment, or physical difficulty.                                                                                                                                        Neilcott was employed to undertake the design and construction of a new performing arts building at Alfriston School, working with the novated architect Ellis Williams Architects. The building provides teaching and performance spaces in the disciplines of music, drama and dance as well as new landscaping, facilitating a new department on the school campus. The ScopeWorks involved construction of a new two-storey steel-framed performing arts block (c.401m2) to connect with the existing sports hall. The new facility provides additional teaching space, storage, changing facilities, toilets and circulation. An area occupied by a temporary classroom block and garages was cleared and storage containers relocated to make way for the new building. Performance / Teaching Hall –  The double height performance hall is light, spacious and designed to offer flexibility in its use. Alongside daytime or evening performances to an audience of up to approximately 230 people, the hall will serve as a primary teaching space in the disciplines of dance, music and drama on a day to day basis, as well as providing a much needed large space for gatherings, assemblies and school events.  Flexible lighting can be provided to suit each of the different uses accommodated within the space. To the rear of the hall, storage for chairs and demountable stage elements has been provided so that these can be stowed away as necessary. The ground floor area of the Performance Hall space can be used in isolation for small to medium sized performances or in combination with the first floor gallery to provide additional seating. Entrance Foyer & Lobby – The new primary entrance opens into a split level entrance foyer in a double height space which consolidates the various disparate entrances of the existing adjacent gym and offices within the envelope of the new building.  The foyer space provides a break out area for classes entering or exiting the building, or audience members waiting to enter the space before a performance. The position of changing rooms and WCs in close proximity mean that such activities can be contained to one area of the building during a performance, making it easier to manage. Teaching Space – Two dedicated classrooms provide teaching space for classes of 10-24 students with flexibility between formal and informal teaching arrangements according to the type of discipline: editing classes/ drama lessons/ ballet classes etc.

Inspiring the next generation of construction workers

News & Views /

Since commencing on site, our team at Sidcup Storeyhouse have been engaging with students from the University of Greenwich to support their studies, using our project in Bexley as a practical example. Activities have included presentations on methods of construction and the design process and virtual site tours giving students the opportunity to see first-hand just how quickly progress is made on site. Over the summer period, we were really excited to be able to offer one of Greenwich University’s Civil Engineering undergraduates the opportunity to work with us as a Trainee Site Manager. Rohan Randhawa joined us and quickly became an integral part of the team, assisting our Project Manager and learning as he went.  A huge thanks to Mike Jameson and all the team at Sidcup Storeyhouse for making this possible.
