Design and Build of a 3 storey block of six flats for a Housing Association. The building included reinforced concrete retaining walls due to the sloping site, external walls of insulated cavity brickwork and concrete planks for intermediate floors. Un-insulated concrete block cavity walls were built between dwellings and the whole building was designed to meet Robust Detail standards for sound transference. To meet Housing Association requirements the design incorporated standards for HQI’s, EcoHomes (rating-Good) and Secure by Design.
