Project Manager, Alex Walker, is pivotal in the co-ordination of all stakeholders in particular overseeing the purchasers’ requirements acting as the liaison with the purchaser, architect and site team ensuring the formers requirements are translated into the final constructed product in compliance with all statutory authorities. After a property has been reserved but prior to exchange, the purchaser will sit down with the Architect (AKS Ltd) to discuss any changes they may want to the planned layouts. After which a timescale is given to the purchasers for them to decide on their internal finishings. As works progress on site Alex, with the support of the Architectural team, will undertake regular inspections during the construction period,usually with the purchaser, to
ensure that what is built is both as was intended and to the satisfactory level expected of such a high end development. The Construction Manager, Paul Jarvis, has a small team of directly employed staff and a number of specialist contractors to manage. The ethos has always been to use local suppliers and contractors where possible and, to that end, there are a number of companies working on site, each undertaking areas of work that matches their expertise and experience. For example the foundations and steel frames are being erected by Proseal Construction, mechanical and electrical installation by Prodomestics with finishes being supplied locally by companies such as 101 Ltd and Porcelanosa.
The finishing touches to Phase 1 are almost complete with the communal pool and garden in use from August 2015.
