Challenges & solutions
What made this project difficult
Remediation on an occupied block is as much a coordination problem as a construction one.
Managing multiple contractors
ASG coordinated several specialist contractors, each responsible for different parts of the project, keeping the programme aligned across every trade.
Reducing resident disruption
The work was completed in phases so that residents could continue living in their apartments throughout the renovation.
Regulatory compliance
ASG worked with local authorities and fire-safety services to ensure the completed work met relevant building and fire-safety standards.
Project outcomes
What the completed project delivered
Safer environment
A safer and more secure residential environment for everyone living in the block.
Better energy efficiency
Improved thermal performance through new, energy-efficient window units.
Lower maintenance costs
Reduced expected maintenance spend across the building’s key elements.
Increased property value
A stronger asset position for the apartment owners within the block.
Regulatory compliance
Compliance with applicable building and fire-safety requirements.
Residents kept in place
Phased delivery meant no decant people stayed in their homes throughout.
