The 1st fix M&E is now completed in all four units and insulation has been added to the walls which were then closed up with the commencement of 2nd fix dry lining.

 

 

Up until this week the stone work was progressing steadily through the final lift, first floor to eaves...then the temperate took a nose dive. When this happens there is nothing anyone can do, with the mercury dropping to the depths it has this week all work must stop. On the bright side everyone on site got the chance to wear all their new Christmas socks all at once on the same day!

The shocking cold snap didn't deter work from progressing inside plots 1-4 on
Upper Road and Acoustic Floors were laid.

The internal wall have now all gone up.  

As soon as all the walls were up a start was made on the electrics and plumbing also known as 1st fix M & E

Happy New Year...!

"Start how we mean to go on" is the joint site team New Year's Resolution on Upper Road. 

We had some good news last week, which was a nice way to start the new year, our scores from the considerate constructors audit came in.

A site average of 4.5:

4 refers to 'High level beyond compliance' and 5: 'exceptional measures taken'.

Credit where credit is due: This is the type of score which reflects on the entire site, not just individuals. To achieve this score, everyone on the site has to buy into the programme which was certainly the case on Upper Road.

The Considerate Constructors Scheme  is the national initiative set up by the construction industry to improve its image.  The Scheme is concerned about any area of construction activity that may have a direct or indirect impact on the image of the industry as a whole. The main areas of concern fall into three categories: the general public, the workforce and the environment.

In the up coming weeks we will be sending out questionnaires to our neighbours in the surrounding streets, and would really appreciate any feedback on your thoughts and feelings towards us since we have been part of your community.
