Project type: façade replacement
Contract value: £3.5 million
Project Description:
A replacement of the full external façade of 3 residential blocks within a built-up estate. The façades are a mix of render, brick and spandrel panels. All decking from balconies and terraces are replaced with aluminium. Arte has taken this project from an early stage and is currently working up the designs with the Fire Engineers to ensure a compliant EWS1 form is provided. We are working on a live building that impacts on car parking. A temporary car park requiring planning is currently being pursued.
We will be reverting to a direct applied render system in line with BBA certification (which is more superior compared to a cavity render system in terms of fire safety) on a building over 18m
