ARDMORE GROUP BYRNE PROPERTIES Development management Development PADDINGTON CONSTRUCTION Stonework Bespoke joinery Architectural metalwork Structural steel Size and Structure Canaletto Groveworld / Orion Capital Management Supply Chain We have earned an impressive reputation for being able to carry out many packages in-house, retaining direct control over critical work packages and building resilience into our supply chain. The extent of our in-house resources is one of our key strengths in relation to delivery and programme certainty. Many services normally provided by subcontract packages can be delivered and controlled in-house where it is beneficial to the delivery of the project, including; groundworks, externals and scaffolding concrete frames traditional facades fit-out and decoration services joinery and stoneworking The control that we retain over these in-house capabilities allows us to offer a greater degree of cost, programme and quality certainty than our competitors. This approach minimises supply chain risk in a buoyant construction market as we are able to feed our own projects with the core supplies, with smaller packages being let locally. However, we understand that this approach is not always right for every project and it is essential that we retain the flexibility to apply the most effective package procurement approach to each project. 02 Ardmore Group 2018 Ardmore Group

6 Residential Canonbury Cross Canonbury Cross Client: Notting Hill Value: 45m Units: 138 Private Sale Completion: 2015 Canonbury Cross is a 90 unit, mixed-tenure residential scheme at Highbury Corner, which perfectly demonstrates our ability to manage the complex demands of inner-city projects. The project has several significant constraints, common to many London schemes: it sits just 8m above Victoria Line tunnels and Network Rail tunnels; construction access via a restricted singlelane road; and close proximity to surrounding residential properties. Our experience has allowed us to successfully manage the interface with Network Rail and LUL, including agreeing design calculations, method statements, monitoring and inspection reports, and anti-vibration measures. 8 Ardmore Group 2018 Our electronic delivery management system pioneered at the Athletes Village and close liaison with residents has ensured a hassle free approach to servicing the site. In fact, the project managed to score a perfect 10 in the Community section at its last Considerate Constructors audit. Residential Canonbury Cross Ardmore Group

Xchange Point s green credentials are evident by the high levels of insulation and the double glazed windows which mean a stable temperature with no unpleasant draughts and better soundproofing. This also reduces energy usage and therefore lower energy bills in the flats. The scheme sites above two major railway tunnels, and it was agreed prior to any formal submission that the deflection caused by the demolition of existing buildings and excavation would cause too much heave on the tunnels running below the site. 12 Ardmore Group 2018 This early dialogue allowed us to develop our deconstruction method statement so that the demolition was carried out in parts, and excavation and foundations were carried out in 1m wide strips to ensure that reloading was sufficient to mitigate tunnel movement. We were able to agree with Network Rail an electronic tunnel monitoring system, where alerts are sent immediately to asset protection engineers, and Ardmore s management team and health and safety department, should deflection be greater than a pre-agreed level.

As the main contractor on this project we were responsible for everything from excavation and ground stabilisation to providing a full fit-out service including fixtures and fittings, delivered in just two years. Restoring the external stonework to its original splendour was a key element in reviving the hotel to its former glory. Every inch of the stone façade of the building was cleaned, with defects meticulously repaired and window surrounds remodelled in keeping with the original designs. Working closely with the interior designers, Ardmore s team was instrumental in fitting out and finishing the front of house areas, Harrods Flower Store, Northall restaurant, ballroom, standard guest rooms and junior suites. Sourcing from across the globe, we placed over one thousand individual orders for items of FF&E including fabrics, leathers, light fittings, case goods and silks. Hotels Corinthia, London I was amazed with the scale and complexity of the renovation. Some of the work has been ingenious and I could hardly believe that the entire internal structure of the building could be removed and rebuilt without removing the façade. Ardmore s management and organisation of such was most impressive even by military standards. 42 Ardmore Group 2018 Ardmore Group

The original cinema won the RIBA London Street Architecture Award for the best London façade in 1923 when Sir Edwin Lutyens was on the panel of judges. The cinema was designed by Frank T. Verity for Israel Davis. Its distinctive brick and stone frontage onto Shepherd s Bush Green was one of the prominent features. We retained the original award-winning brick façade with minor alterations to ensure natural light within the hotel rooms behind, including a new glazed roof which follows the curved profile of the original. Delivered in just two years, the new hotel offers 317 luxurious Chinese-inspired bedrooms, an executive lounge and two restaurants, as well as a spa and meeting rooms.

26 Student Scape Greenwich Scape Greenwich Client: Rise Value: 17m Rooms: 298 Completion: 2013 With 298 contemporary student-rooms, Scape Greenwich (Plot M0120) consists of two vault-topped blocks connected at ground floor level. Following an initial two-stage procurement process, the developer was unable to close out stage 2 at the anticipated price, putting significant risk on a programme tied to occupation dates. We were quickly able to carry out an appraisal of the Stage D+ design and provide a fixed price lump sum offer based on a comprehensive set of contractors proposals for the interior specification, which at that stage was still largely in abeyance. Programme was critical to the developer, with completion dates tied to term time occupations for students, and we improved programme by developing the design for our own pre-fabricated bathroom pods and pre-cast concrete panels with integrated windows for the envelope. We were able to deliver against a challenging construction programme that saw us handover the first block just 11 months after breaking ground.
