Sometimes appealing a Planning Decision is the only way to unlock a site as demonstrated by this proposal for the regeneration of a brownfield site with 24 new apartments and houses in the middle of an urban block on Brixton Hill, Lambeth, London. We were pleased by this result because by the time of the enquiry the remaining unresolved reasons were all design related such as character, massing, living conditions and impact on neighbours. The Inspector found the design to be satisfactory in all matters and confirmed that we managed to optimise the capacity of this brownfield site with a high-quality design-led approach. “It (the proposal) therefore complies with Policy Q5 of the L-LP which requires local distinctiveness to be sustained and reinforced and Policy Q7 of the L-LP which requires high quality design. It also complies with Policy D3 of the LP which requires a design-led approach to optimise site capacity and high quality design.” – Inspector appointed by the Sectretary of State #regeneration #brownfield #brixton #officeconversion #permitteddevelopment #rohacsarchitects #rohacs

#ICYMI: Our discussion with CBC News highlighted the exciting future of #masstimber in Canadian construction! Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gpBTTwzh Glulam Timber (beams, columns and panels) are particularly well-suited for residential construction because of its: ➡ Strength and durability: Glulam offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for load-bearing structures. ➡ Design flexibility: Glulam can be formed into various shapes and sizes, allowing for creative and functional spaces. ➡ Aesthetics: The natural beauty of wood creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for occupants. #architect #sustainablebuilding #GreenArchitecture #architecturelovers #architecturedesign #archdaily #structuralengineering #dezeen #zerocarbon #architects #BuildingWithWood #WoodArchitecture #greenbuilding #construction #engineering #sustainability #glulam

When the plans do not match the elevations, which one you should follow and why? What do you mean? can you give me an example? In one of our City of Vancouver projects, if you follow the plans, you will develop staggered windows with vertical runs, like the one we are showing in our facade model, but if you follow the architecture elevation you will have a straight run, so what is the issue then? if you follow the plans, the elevation will change, and if you follow the elevation the plans will change, the suite layout will change, then follow the plans? Not really because the facade changing will trigger a development permit amendment! which is a very difficult situation to be in, especially with a building permit in place and gearing up for construction .. you know what is even worse situation if these windows were ordered from overseas to ensure the project's critical path schedule does not get impacted! Being between a rock and a hard place is not good in construction! our lucky client avoided this by using BASTET CMS #ACBIM service! Reach out to us today to learn more about how our valuable services helped our other clients avoid a lot of similar situations! #BASTET #CANADA #BRITISHCOLUMBIA #ONTARIO #TORONTO #OTTAWA #LONDON #GTA #MANITOBA #ALBERTA #QUEBEC #VANCOUVER #CALGARY #RICHMOND #BURNABY #SURREY #COQUITLAM #TORONTO #MISSISSAUGA #ACBIM #ADABIM #ACPBIM #COORDINATION #VALUEENGINEERING #PEERREVIEW #CONSTRUCTIONPLANNING #PROJECTMANAGMENT #REALESTATE #DEVELOPMENT #CONSTRUCTION #DESIGN #RISK #PROJECTS

🪵 Woodn't you know it, mass timber is shaking up Canadian construction! 🏗 Great insights on Glulam's strength, flexibility, and beauty in construction.

BNAL prefabs are the better way to construct as all material is prefabricated, nothing goes to waste, it requires less water in contrast with traditional construction techniques, and the construction is sturdier, requiring less repair and renovation. #BNAL #Prefabconstruction

JPSE Ltd is excited to announce the completion of Phases A&B of the Chigwell development. The 10 week build programme for APC Building Services to design, manufacture, and construct a Light Gauge Steel Frame development in London. JPSE will now pull off site for a few weeks to allow earthworks to be finalised before returning to complete the small buildings at the entrance. The new 3100sqm building will feature 35No. 2-3 bed apartments and 512sqm of commercial floorspace. Collaborating closely with the APC Team, JPSE successfully transformed the designed concrete structure to a LGSF solution. #lightgaugesteelframe #modernmethodsofconstruction #mmc #building
