Project Management

The zone

The Zone consists of five separate residential apartment blocks in the centre of Bristol, constructed using both traditional methods of a concrete structure and a timber frame structure. All the buildings in the development were deemed as high risk due to the external facades, which consisted of an insulated render system, brickwork, timber cladding, timber balconies, copper cladding and spandrel panels which needed replacing without impacting the original aesthetic of the design.

The avenue

The Avenue is a retail development in the heart of Bournemouth, the property was last renovated in the late 1980’s and new owners wanted to completely transform the building, to create an exciting retail led destinations with an extensive refurbishment, modernisation and upgrade of the existing property.

The lodge

The Lodge is a Grade II Listed building, which had fallen into a poor condition. VenaSpace purchased the property to sympathetically renovate the building, to create a flexible commercial office space which maintained the original historic features and the buildings original, whilst offering a modern, bright and fun environment.

Purbeck court

Bennington Green were appointed by the building’s freehold management company to oversee the renewal of flat roofs, and other associated high level repairs, to four detached residential blocks of flats in Swanage, with the planned work carried out over the course of a year.

Baltic quay

Baltic Quay is generally an 8 storey block of residential apartments on all floors with a taller tower block of 15 storeys at the south East Corner rising to a roof height of approx. 50m above ground level, offering a total of 163 units. The elevations were originally clad in a combination of PPC painted metal rainscreen cladding and concrete tile/brick slips with inner blockwork infills to exposed expressed concrete frame structures, which a Fire Consultant report deemed necessary to replace the aluminium PPC rainscreen system spandrel panels and bay panels.

Beacon tower

Beacon Tower was originally designed as a commercial office block but had been successfully redeveloped into a residential block comprising of 44 apartments over 7 floors. Due to fire safety concerns the whole building required the removal and replacement of the exterior HPL cladding and render system, to ensure the materials were fire compliant but that the finished approved cladding system retained the original appearance of the development.
