As Principal Contractor with responsibility for design from RIBA stage 4 under a JCT 2011 Design and Build contract, we were appointed to undertake the design and construction of a new concrete framed residential block comprising 9 apartments from ground to fourth floor, alongside basement car park and external hard and soft landscaping.  The apartments were finished to an extremely high specification and in keeping with the remainder of the Art Deco Estate. With the project being in such close proximity to local residents, communication was key upon this project.  A community liaison officer was engaged on the project to lead resident involvement initiatives with the Residents Association, and to be the key contact for adjacent neighbours.
