Design & Build
Constructed in partnership with Henry Davidson Developments (HDD) to support a new suburb in South Peterborough, this mixed-use development comprises 20,000 sqft of commercial space including 14 retail units and 41 residential apartments - set within two buildings.
Construction comprises of a traditional steel frame on concrete pad foundations, upper floors of PCC planks with structural concrete topping, roof coverings of single-ply membrane on insulation and metal decking. External walls of traditional brickwork and blockwork with feature architectural block work and through colour render. Windows are thermally broken aluminium.
Retail outlets were constructed using the same methodology as the apartments, with a ground-floor concrete slab. The outlet was left as a shell with fire escape doors and aluminium shop fronts.
The site was integrated into a larger new building housing development and surrounded by existing residential properties. We worked closely with the adjacent developer to agree upon delivery locations, times, and routes, helping to ensure no disruption to our respective programmes. Local residents were kept abreast of the programme of works via in-person visits, letter drops, and a community noticeboard.
All apartments are fully M&E serviced incoming gas, water and electric terminated in meters, etc. suitable for occupier fit-out.
The shell is further serviced with fire alarm links and soil and vent above-ground drainage connections. Associated works include road works, car parking, drainage, and landscaping.
The development, which was completed on time and budget, has provided additional residential accommodation in the local area, as well as boost the local economy through the addition of a range of convenience stores.
