A new build social housing scheme consisting of four flats and two houses was successfully completed in a site of local historic interest. This initiative aimed to provide affordable housing while respecting the heritage of the area.
Health and safety were prioritized throughout the construction process. A detailed risk assessment was conducted, and regular safety training sessions were held for all workers to ensure compliance with safety regulations on site.
Given the historical significance of the location, the project included archaeological considerations. An archaeology team operated alongside a watching brief, meticulously documenting any findings during excavation. This collaboration ensured that valuable artifacts and insights into the local history were preserved while minimizing disruption to the construction timeline.
The project faced a critical deadline, needing to be completed before the winter season. Through diligent project management and effective communication with stakeholders, the team navigated challenges, keeping the project on track.
Ultimately, the housing scheme was delivered on time and within budget, providing much-needed accommodation to the community. This successful project not only addressed housing needs but also honored the site’s historical context, demonstrating a commitment to responsible and sustainable development. The new homes have since become a valued addition to the neighbourhood.
