Stoford Developments Ltd’s Post

Work is progressing well on Aberdeen’s first purpose-built complex care accommodation provision. The £4million development at Stoneywood Road will deliver homes for eight people with complex care needs, offering care around the clock. The buildings are all designed to a Passivhaus (ultra-low energy) standard of environmental performance.  The project is being delivered by Aberdeen City Council, Mackie Ramsey Taylor Architects and builders Ogilvie Construction. Completion is expected in Spring 2025.

🌍 Not Every Meeting Achieves the Initial Goal—But It Can Still Be Valuable 🏗️ This week, we met with a potential client whose vans, scaffolding, and cranes are a familiar sight across Scotland and the North of England. Having been involved in the construction of some of Manchester, Glasgow, and Leeds’ most iconic buildings, their work has helped shape the urban landscape for over 15 years. As their focus is on fitting and managing projects—using designs developed by external teams—they aren’t currently eligible for R&D relief or grants. However, through our discussions, we identified potential routes to complement their strategic inward investment. The client is now exploring the possibility of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) to bring in engineering talent and grow their in-house design capabilities, potentially unlocking new opportunities with funding support to reduce financial risk. 🚀 Sometimes, the meeting doesn’t go as planned, but it opens up new possibilities for long-term growth. #Construction #Architecture #BusinessGrowth #ArchitecturalInnovation #StrategicInvestment #KTP #Glasgow #Manchester #Leeds #Scotland #NorthOfEngland

Spending on nonresidential #construction is projected to increase over the remainder of the year, according to The American Institute of Architects (AIA)’s updated Consensus Construction Forecast for mid-2024 – via Archinect

ARCO's ability to act as a trusted advisor during all phases of the development cycle is what sets us apart from the competition. Fast, accurate, and thorough analysis of potential projects/sites allows our customers to maximize their efficiency by dropping dud sites quickly or making competitive offers even quicker. Through our proprietary approach, we remove risk from the table very early allowing dollars that would have been slated for contingency or other buckets in the proforma to shift into the land value. It is NEVER too early to get us involved on any of your projects! Come see why some of the largest developers in the world rely on ARCO to help take their business to the next level.

ONE YEAR ON – DELIVERING THE PD-BR ROLE UNDER THE BUILDING SAFETY ACT: On Wednesday 10th December, Professor Joan McCoy will be sharing White Ink’s insights, lessons learnt and overall experience of the Principal Designer-BR role with a group of architects, clients, contractors and consultants in a Roundtable hosted by Nigel Ostime and Hawkins\Brown.   The group will examine how the design and construction industry has had to adapt to the new way of delivering residential buildings to ensure they are safe to construct and inhabit and will be sharing their knowledge and experience to date as part of a drive to ensure Best Practice is understood and implemented across the architectural profession and wider construction industry. A fantastic group to be apart of, we look forward to the discussions with this exciting group.

Modular construction redefines efficiency, enabling the assembly of a 10-story building in just 28 hours. By utilizing pre-fabricated modules built off-site, this method ensures precise quality control, rapid assembly, reduced costs, and minimal waste. Combining sustainability with adaptability, modular construction offers a groundbreaking solution for modern residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects. #innovation #construction #safetyFirst

Leveraging ARCO’s design/build capabilities can be critical for developers looking to bring a project to market efficiently, from concept to completion, in Louisville’s tightening industrial vacancy environment (3.4%-4.1%). Below is a concise illustration of each step in our process and what it means for your next project. A better way to build. #ARCO #designbuild
