Our Groundworks Contractor has made a start digging trenches this week to enable us to lay services to the plots so that we can get Gas, Electric and Water into them before Christmas.

Both porches are now fully tiled and we are waiting the completion of the cladding to the ends and undersides of the porches, which starts next week.

The block work is being coated in the protective Render so all the façade will be ready to unveil by the end of next week with the scaffold coming down on the 5^th & 6^th December.

Plot 8 is ready to be plastered on Monday with our M&E contractor delivering a plot a day to the Dry-liners to close-up the internal walls ready for plastering.

Internally we have started the 1^st fix M&E with 1 Flat complete and the others following on, we are looking to get the flats plastered as soon as possible.



The plan is to get all the plots skimmed before Christmas break giving the completion trades a smooth canvas for them to start installing the kitchens and bathrooms.

We managed to survive the severe gales this week and our building is being slowly revealed, with the scaffold to the front elevation being stripped, just leaving a couple of areas up where the porches need to be tiled. The Renderer is due to start Monday to complete the external façade.

Internally we have started the 1^st Fix M&E with 1 Flat complete and the others following on, we are looking to get the flats plastered as soon as possible.

Next week we have our Groundworker starting on site who will install the services in to the plots to enable us to get heat into them in order to help the internals dry-out in the cold weather that’s predicted.



We have managed to maintain a pretty good rate of build on site, we have our roof 50% covered, and rain water gutters in place and our brickwork 95% complete

   

Internally we have put the perimeter plaster board on 7 out of the 8 flats ready for the internal stud work to commence followed by the Mechanical and Electrical trades

We are looking forward to another week of steady progress on site and start the internal trades

The dry liners have been extremely busy this week, putting up all the perimeter walls to the first floor units, and towards the back of the week made a start on the ground floor.

 

 

 

 

As the dry liners moved to the ground floor units, the Joiners passed them on the stairs and started laying the insulation to the sub floor, followed by the acoustic flooring,

completing 3 of the 4 first floor units by the end of the week.

 

Next week the internal walls will begin to go up leading the way for 1st fix M&E the following week. 

 

Externally the bricklayers started and made good progress on the 1st floor to eaves lift.
