It’s wonderful to see how much progress has been made at our St Peters Medical site.

Since our last update our team of carpenters have completed the timber roof construction with Pace Roofing currently installing the zinc roof. Once completed P&H Electrical Solutions will install the solar panels.

Externally all windows have been installed by Feature. Sackville brickwork have completed the face brickwork including the blue and green ombre panels.

Internally the M&E 1st fix is almost complete with only the second floor in progress. The lower floors have been plaster boarded with Sequoia Construction starting the plastering this week to the ground floor. Bryant Decorators will be visiting site to begin the mist-coat on the ground floors shortly. IPS panels are due to be installed next week.

The new 4-storey medical centre will serve more than 16,000 patients, providing them with a modern, fit for purpose integrated primary care facility in the heart of Brighton.

Working with Barchester Healthcare and Fed3 Projects Limited we have been instructed to build a 55 bed care home using traditional masonry and a caltite basement.

Comprised over four floors the new high-quality care home will include modern bedrooms, communal lounges, dining rooms and shared community spaces on each floor fostering a community feel.

The site has been cleared including safety work to protected trees. The basement has been excavated by our in-house groundworks team and lift pits have been blinded with concrete. Southern Piling have completed the piles for the tower crane and the base has been installed. Drainage works have commenced with foul water drains diverted and drainage for the basement level is being installed.

It has been a lovely day for a visit to our site at Churchfields Business Centre in Hastings.

Working with Hastings Borough Council and Allen Construction Consultancy we have been instructed to design and build a BREEAM Excellent Business Centre. The two-storey project will include 29 new business units with a total area of approximately 1,015m2 of lettable space, including training areas and shared service and amenities.

The site will include a new access road and onsite parking, consisting of several electric vehicle charging points with an emphasis on sustainable construction methods and materials.

Our team of in-house carpenters are working at an exceptional pace to quickly put together the timber frame (OFP Timber Framed Homes Ltd) with this due to be completed in a few weeks.

Thank you to our Site Manger Lee Vockins and the team on site for their hard work. We look forward to coming back when the project is water tight.

We’re delighted to be working with Bexhill College on the design and construction of a new extension to the theatre block and associated works. The design from RIBA Stage 4 is being completed by our in-house design team.

Works have progressed quickly on site. Our team have secured the area from the main college, allowing works to progress with minimal disruption. The steel frame is up, and the roof is due to be completed shortly. Dixon Building Solutions have begun to lay the bricks for the lower ground floor and our own bricklayers are breaking through to join with the existing building.

Well done to our site manager Ian Carter  and the team on site for all their hard work. We look forward to returning in a few months to see the progress that’s been made.

Excellent progress has been made at our Epsom College site. Set within the heart of the College, the new sixth form building has been designed by CORDE to complement the surrounding buildings and will create a focal point to the campus.

The steel structure and precast concrete floors are complete. All the windows have now been installed along with the SFS walling. Internally screeds have been laid, partition walls have been erected and first fix services have been installed.
The zinc metal roof has reached the halfway point and currently we are closing in second side boarding of walls and partitions ready for plastering.

The three storey, 1,675m2 building incorporates classrooms, seminar spaces, a cinema, café, kitchenette and a careers and research area. The facility will help ensure students are equipped with the skills they need to transition seamlessly into higher education.
