The zone

Introduction

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.

Our Approach

Bennington Green undertook the roles of Project Manager, Principal Designer, Quantity Surveyor and Clerk of Works for the project. The works comprised of the removal and replacement of the external cladding, and associated works, due to the fire compliance issue. Our multidisciplinary approach included investigation, design and the construction of the new facades, without disrupting the existing building or design aesthetic. We co-ordinated and managed the appointment of all other consultants involved and arranged the provision of an EWS1 form upon completion.
