HOLMBURY COURT New Build CLIENT: Private BRIEF: To demolish and build a 1700 sq ft new build block of 2 apartments, to the Architects very modern and stylish design. The build to NHBC standards and details, thus allowing the client the benefit of a 10 year warranty on the build from NHBC. PROJECT DURATION: 40 Weeks The site had a number of challenges that became apparent once the demolition was completed and the build started. The soil sampling once the concrete slab was removed showed that ground was unable to support standard trench foundations, due to the site being concreted over for many years and had become to desiccated. So after a variety of options were considered, the only option was to pile the site. Additional challenges were in the site access. This proved difficult for the larger transportation vehicles and so many raw materials had to be hand carted to the site. Nonetheless the result is a fantastic high quality finish and the design takes full advantage of the site position and both apartments bask in natural light. design and construct 5
SCHOOL GREEN YARD New Build CLIENT: Development Company ARCHITECT: Visionstream & Catharine Slade Design BRIEF: Restore and rebuild apartment to maximize space. PROJECT DURATION: 62 Weeks This development was undertaken on behalf of a Development Company who owned the land and the planning to build 6 homes on the site. Visionstream as accredited NHBC members were selected to undertake the complete build process as a turnkey project. The deliverable timescale required had to be extend by 2 weeks due to the site requiring additional foundations with ring beams. The site itself had been covered for main years with heavy concrete slab which had led to a desiccation of the soil and furthermore during excavations it was discovered that the public storm drain had been damaged from the road and storm water had been draining underground onto the client s land. This was remedied with the assistance of the council contractors and the storm drain re-directed to ensure that such an event would not re-occur, however it meant that traditional foundations could not be used. Visionstream obtained an NHBC site quality award for this development and the units were sold within 6 weeks of being marketed for sale. design and construct 19
