Week 12

The timber roof structure was completed followed by the installation of the natural slate coverings and the external windows and doors making the building watertight.

The feature Oak Screen is now fitted and will provide ample natural light into the activity space for the residents.  

Week 10

The works are progressing well in relation to the programme with the substructure now complete. The scaffold and masonry superstructure were built a couple of days ahead of programme allowing for the wall plate and timber roof trusses to be installed.  The underground drainage installation has been tested and the temporary hoarding to the existing corridor was placed to allow for the opening up of the existing walls and roof. A vision panel within the temporary hoarding provides light into the existing corridor and has been kindly decorated by a local artist Anne Bennett. 

Week 8

The substructure masonry has been constructed and the beam and block floor installed. The demolition of the existing roof is taking place and the external and internal walls are being constructed, as seen in the below photo’s.
