We’re excited to share the completion video of another successful cladding remediation project, managed by Archway Building Consultancy. This project reflects our ongoing dedication to improving building safety, compliance and aesthetics. We carefully considered key design details with the project team to ensure smooth progress from pre-construction planning, on-site project management through to final inspections. By working closely with stakeholders, contractor, and the residents, we delivered a plan to bring the building up to the latest safety standards, creating a safer and more resilient space for the occupiers. Project Highlights: ✅ Teamwork and Collaboration: We navigated the funding requirements and tackled challenging supply chain issues through effective communication and collaboration. ✅ Resident-Centric Approach: Clear communication procedures were put in place with the residents and phased handovers implemented to minimise disruption and ensured residents needs were prioritised. ✅ Fire-Safe Cladding Systems: Fire-rated materials used to replace the combustible cladding systems and balcony terraces, enhancing the building safety. We’re incredibly proud of this project and the positive impact it will have on residents and the community.

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.

Watchfield Close, Māngere, is a multi-unit residential complex that provides 19 high-quality, affordable 2, 3, and 4 bedroom homes for families. Developed by New Zealand Housing Foundation, these Homestar-rated homes provide warm, dry living environments with low running costs. Families purchase these homes through a co-ownership programme - https://lnkd.in/ggi_xdiS PJM served as the client-side project manager, providing design, project management, cost control, construction observation, and contract administration services. We were engaged at a critical stage when rising costs and site constraints needed fresh thinking, and conducted a design competition with reputable architects, aiming to optimise the site layout. This process led to and improved design over the initial scheme, the addition of two homes, reduced driveway areas and enhanced development aesthetics, ultimately improving the projects profitability. PJM and NZHF engaged in an ECI (Early Contractor Involvement) process with a preferred civil contractor and builder. This collaboration allowed us to explore time and cost-saving options by leveraging the contractors' expertise in materials, construction staging, and methodology. This approach resulted in additional cost savings and provided early price certainty for our client.

Australian Thermal Industries (ATI) fully supports the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) in their opposition to the proposed 10-year freeze on the National Construction Code (NCC). We believe that regular updates to the NCC are essential for advancing building standards, particularly in critical areas like condensation and mould prevention, structural resilience, and overall occupant health and safety. ATI is committed to helping builders meet these evolving standards with high-performance thermal solutions that support compliant, efficient, and durable construction. We echo the AIA’s call to prioritise quality alongside quantity in Australia’s housing efforts, ensuring homes are built to last and inspire confidence in homeowners and investors alike.

CORNWALL COUNCIL CALL FOR SITES UPDATE! Cornwall’s Planning Policy Team is working on a Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) to identify potential development sites. Following an earlier call for sites, the team is currently assessing 1,113 locations for suitability, availability, and viability using government guidance and PlaceMaker software. This process will help inform the new Local Plan and replace the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). A HELAA Panel, including industry representatives, provides advice on deliverability, including climate-resilient densities. Although the HELAA will inform site allocations, it does not confer planning status on any sites. The call for sites remains open to ensure thorough consideration! Do you have a parcel of land which you feel could be considered for future development, do get in touch with the office on the details below. 01736 448500 📞 office@cornwallplanninggroup.co.uk Chartered Building Engineer Practice / Architecture / Planning / Building Regulations / New Build Warranty #callforsites #strategichousing #cornwallplanninggroup #cornwall #cornwallcouncil #planning #architecture #cornwallplanning #freeconsultation #localbusiness #buildingregulations #cornwallarchitecture #cornishbusiness #CPGSuccess #architecture #cornwallplanning #freeconsultation #localbusiness #buildingregulations #cornwallarchitecture
