Demolition and Ground Works

This stage consisted of demolishing all existing building, removal of former redundant strip foundations. The overall objective was to considerable recycle significant raw material and safely remove any toxic waste from site according to building control and reducing the carbon foot print . All demolition related works were successfully completed and within 12 weeks.

Ground works stage consisted of designing and forming foundations which supports the structure of the new scheme.The typical foundation works consisting of ,under pinning adjacent buildings, excavating the ground up to a depth of 1.2M in some areas, excavating trenches for the new foundations, pouring of water proof concrete and laying foundation blocks to support the ground and future super structure.

Super structure and first fix internal works

This stage consisted of demolishing all existing building, removal of former redundant strip foundations. The overall objective was to considerable recycle significant raw material and safely remove any toxic waste from site according to building control and reducing the carbon foot print . All demolition related works were successfully completed and within 12 weeks.

The floors

• The ground floor is designed and constructed to be a ground bearing solid slab consisting of 150mm screed and 100mm insulation
• While the subsequent floors are constructed from 150mm treated floor joints with 100mm insulation finished with a 18mm internal high density structural moisture resistant floor panel to provide energy efficiency and low noise.

The walls and celling

• The external walls provide resistance to the elements affected by rain, snow, wind or sun and are able to keep these from entering the building. The external walls consist of 100m external brick, 100mm cavity insulation and 100mm internal block to maximise strength and stability.
• The internal non load bearing walls are constructed to resist the passage of sound within the structure, and maintain the integrity of the building for a sufficient length of time to allow the occupants to escape to a place of safety in the event of a fire.
• All walls and ceiling are finished with a minimum of 18mm plasterboard to provide shelter, security, durability, thermal insulation, sound insulation, fire resistance according to building control regulation.
• The external walls provide resistance to the elements affected by rain, snow, wind or sun and are able to keep these from entering the building. The external walls consist of 100m external brick, 100mm cavity insulation and 100mm internal block to maximise strength and stability.

The roofs

• High performance levels against weather conditions like rain and snow
• Structural strength and stability
• Drainage. All rain falling on the roof must be removed in the most direct way so as toprevent the building from becoming excessively wet
• Durability
• Thermal insulation
• Lighting and ventilation
• Fire resistance
• Harmonise Appearance with the surroundings in order to meet the requirements of the local planning authority.

Second Fix internal works and external finishes

All the internal works are completed to a high standard and care has been taken to ensure the highest level of workmanship and use of materials.

All external works including landscaping has been designed and finished to a high standard to achieve a low maintenance environment for the future residence while creating a boastful finish.
