We were appointed by Meridian Home Start Limited, the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Housing Development arm to assist in their commitment to delivering new high-quality homes and sustainable communities, through the development of small plots of land around the Borough which are vacant, under-utilised or problematic. 

The works consisted of:

  • The demolition of the existing building
  • The construction and internal fit-out of 29 units for affordable rent (23 houses, 3 maisonettes and 3 flats)
  • The construction of a non-residential community building

With the site situated at the junction of two residential areas, we ensured that our work caused the minimum of disruption to our neighbours and communities.  A Community Liaison Officer was engaged on the project, managing community engagement and information flow.  Dust suppression, wheel washing, and noise and vibration control were implemented throughout the works, and CLOCS requirements were communicated to all subcontractors and suppliers.
