APPROVED PROJECT UPDATE. Part two on the new series of Project updates, we will continue to give me the headlines in the heads up on approve projects that we have successfully applied to complete. These posts are designed to give you an insight into some of the types of projects that we get involved in. To find out more visit our website www.keystonead.co.uk Not every project that we undertake has all the elements of a sustainable build, but whenever we are able, we include sustainability as a core focus in every project. In this smaller project, we use sustainable construction materials and improve the building thermal efficiency. This project is based in Cheltenham and involves the demolition of existing garage, construction of a single storey wraparound extension and roof alterations to provide a loft conversion with dormer to rear. The property is a semidetached bungalow that is cited in a relatively large plot away from the main road. We will improve the thermal performance of the building by installing external wall insulation to the existing walls, as well as building a thermally efficient extension. Does some of the design philosophy outlined above meet your ambition for your next building project.? Remember, sustainability does not have to be expensive or complicated.

Even these days, people living in high-rise buildings, especially in apartments, are finding it more difficult to move their things in and out of the building. This is mainly due to improper dimensioning of stairwells and elevators during design and construction. Either the minimum standard dimensional requirement is provided, or in some cases, it's totally out of the standard dimensions. As we all know, functionality is one of the main requirements of a building; if it is not functional, that is a big miss. Therefore, like the other parts of the building, all stakeholders in the construction industry need to make sure that stairwells and elevators are designed and constructed according to the required dimensional standards. #highrisebuildings #apartments #stairwells #elevators #buildingstandards #constructionindustry #architecture https://lnkd.in/ebsk8Jzk

Whether you're venturing into an urban area to explore the restaurants and shops or seeing a concert, parking garages are relied on by many. Most don't think about what it takes to create these massive structures. From vehicle loading and waterproofing, the design is far more complex than one would think. Same goes for the expansion joints on parking garages. Selecting and designing the correct expansion joint solution is critical in creating a watertight seal. The South Boston Waterfront Transportation Center showcases all that goes into designing and installing the expansion joints on a parking structure: https://lnkd.in/dhAXjjp #expansionjoints #sealants#architects #architecture #consultingengineers #propertymanagement #propertyowners #facilitiesmanagement #construction #constructionindustry #constructionproducts #constructionservices #buildings #buildingproducts #buildingowners #waterproofing #waterproofingsolutions #buildingenclosure #buildingenvelope #buildingconstruction #Sika #Emseal

Commercial property extensions can significantly enhance the functionality of a business's premises, making your building more suitable for use by your enterprise. For example, this can provide additional space to accommodate customers during busy times. Extensions on commercial properties can allow for the internal remodelling of the property, optimising the layout and creating additional areas for various functions. With a refreshed design, you can ensure your property uplifts the surrounding area's character. #property #properties #planning #planningpermission #project #architecture #architecturaldrawings #architecturaldesign #construction
