Programme Constraints
Works to the apartments was carried out in phases. The apartments were vacated for the duration. Each phase of works was completed, handed over and re-occupied prior to the next phase commencing.
The phasing on this project was vital to the client. H.A. Marks were presented with various challenges in the form of maintaining full services to a live building while at the same time overhauling and improving the services. This was achieved through careful planning and management of the clients expectations to deliver the intricate programme. The phasing of works required full handover packs to be provided to the client on completion of each phase. This involved a high degree of quality management and a requirement to complete with zero defects. Works to common areas were planned to maintain safe access routes for students and staff throughout the project.
