A short week has seen most of the snagging works completed and the externals transformed form building site to garden. The flats will be further inspected by the Client over the next few days with the official completion being set for 3^rd week in April.

External fencing and tarmacing has seen the site progress well over the last few days.  The landscaping and planting will be the next external activity to be done, which will give the site a feeling of being almost complete.

Internally, the decorator has nearly finished the last few snags and the cleaner is following up closely behind.

Despite the recent bad weather, the site has continued to move to being completed which will be all-but there over the next few days.

Snagging internally is rapidly being completed, only minimal works are now to be carried out. The cleaners are due in over the next weekend to ensure that the flats are completed to the Wates high standards. Externally, the completion of the tarmac is now imminent, perimeter fencing and landscaping will be completed very shortly.

Works are quickly coming to an end with the removal of the site accommodation and office this week.

Externally, the tarmac and topsoil will soon be underway and internally final decorations and joinery works are getting finished.

The heras and timber hoardings are to remain in position whilst the permanent fencing is completed, this allows the site to remain secure whilst the completed boundary work is completed.

A couple of weeks after the Easter break should see the completion of the project at Second Avenue.

Another week almost finished, the guys on site have worked hard all week. The flagging to pathways and cycle store area has continued, the joiner has being working tirelessly on the final finishes to the flats. The testing and commissioning to the mechanical and electrical work has commenced this week with everything getting the thumbs up from the testers. The decorators have all but finished the flats. Once flats were complete and the paint was dry we laid the vinyl to the kitchens and bathrooms and then we started a thorough clean of the flats.

 

 

We are into the last month of works on site now and everything is moving nicely towards completion with the final decorations within the flats taking place. Once a flat is completed by the decorator the door is locked and should any other trade require entry to a finished flat they will be asked to sign the key out. Doing this reduces the risk of any potential damage to the finished flats therefore eliminating revisits by the decorator. This is especially important at this stage of the project as we enter the run in to handover. Testing and commissioning of the mechanical and electrical services has commenced. The joiner is working his way round hanging the pre-finished doors. Externally the flagging to the front elevation is complete. 

 

 

It was all systems go this week for the plumbers to start filling up the heating systems to the flats, and firing the boilers up to get them nice and toasty for the finishing trades!

 

The decorations are ongoing, and the joiner is back with us next week to start hanging the pre-finished doors to the flats.

 

The latex to the ground floors will be carried out at the back end of the week so as not to cause any inconvenience for the other trades requiring access to the flats while the latex is setting.

 

Externally the pathways are starting to take shape, with the flagging progressing nicely.
