Opportunity fit
Demolition of the existing 2 no. 2 storey buildings totalling approx. 838 sqm is explicitly proposed.
New blocks, permeable paving, SuDS features, footpaths and service connections require excavation and drainage.
Communal open space, community garden with polytunnels, planting, footpaths and boundary treatments are specified.
Demolition of two buildings and construction of 30 apartment units in two blocks plus ancillary buildings is substantial multi-package work.
PV panels are explicitly listed as part of the development.
A multi-block social housing scheme with landscaping and SuDS indicates architectural design input.
A 30-unit residential development represents a clear multi-material supply opportunity.
Service connections, upgraded access point and SuDS features imply civil and utility works.
Two new two-storey apartment blocks imply concrete and masonry construction, though not explicitly itemised.
Electrical room, public lighting and service connections are explicitly included.
A dedicated mechanical room and mechanical plant for the apartment blocks indicate mechanical services.
Demolition and construction of two blocks on a 0.3967 ha site indicate plant-intensive operations.
Mechanical room and service connections for 30 units imply plumbing and heating installation.
New two-storey blocks with green and blue roofs require new roof construction.
30 new apartment units with balconies and terraces imply window and door installation.
Substantial 30-unit social housing scheme is likely to require cost planning and procurement support.
