New Extra Care Facility, Cambridge Court, Grimsby

 

Client: Longhurst & Havelok Homes

Type of Contract: Design & Build

Organisational Role: Principle Contractor

Project Duration: 45 Weeks

Value: £3,600,000

Status: Completed

 

The project was to construct 2 separate blocks comprising of 32no 2 Bedroom Apartments together with internal and external communal areas, all to meet Code 3 Sustainable homes. The project was adjacent to a live residential accommodation block and directly opposite a primary school. As the site was extremely tight, key liaison with the residents and neighbours throughout the project were provided as operations such as demolition, piling and all craneage operations were carried out.
 
The building comprised piled foundations, reinforced ground beams, beam and block flooring, a timber frame superstructure with a concrete tiled roof. A mix of cedar/trespa and brickwork cladding was afforded to the external envelope. With the complicated timber frame and M&E installations, we arranged key design coordination meetings to ensure the routes and installations worked effectively. Both blocks incorporated items such as rainwater harvesting, audio-visual intercom system, warden call systems and communal areas.
