The main zinc roof areas are now complete and scaffold is being stripped which shows the building off. Works are also progressing well in the communal areas and to the atrium.

 

 

West Yorkshire Building Excellence Awards

Two of the three extra care schemes on the Kirklees PFI scheme have been recently shortlisted for quality and community awards, Both site teams are excited to receive the accolade and look forward to the award ceremony in June, Speaking with Ruth King, Building Control officer for both sites, she has commented on the quality and attention to detail to both schemes and the legacy Wates will provide to the local community.

 

Firstly, we would like to wish Andy Lyon our site manager the best of luck with his new venture and thank you for all his help and assistance for getting the project to this stage. The scaffolding has finally been dismantled to the atrium area in the centre of B thus leaving a bright and natural feel to the centre of the build. As you can see , it looks spectacular! The Kitchens to section A are currently being installed ready for the ceramic tiler. Moving back to the externals, the zinc roof has commenced at an incredible speed across the dementia unit.

Firstly, we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to the surrounding area of the site with regards to the parking issues.  We are currently liaising with the local Community Support Officers to solve the outstanding problem.

With regards to site production; Section A is rapidly developing, with the installation of the mechanical and electrical works allowing further trades to commence. The snow has caused some problems throughout section B, filling many corridors and flats, however this was quickly resolved with the help of our labourers and workforce.

Overall, works are going well and we hope the sunny weather continues!!
