What made it hard

Neighbours on three sides and a school across the road, so noisy work had a four-hour window.

  • Bathrooms built as pods off site
  • A mock-up apartment signed off before floor three
118 homes handed over with zero open defects.

  • Concrete frame
  • Bathroom pods
  • Roof terrace
  • Landscaping
