Externally we prepared a trench for the 90mm water main and the duct for the main electric cable. Once installed we can back fill the trench. Internally we are progressing with the installation of the kitchens and the bathrooms which will then release work for the tiler due next week.

 

 

Externally the ground workers completed the parking bays ready for the relocation of the cabins on Monday. We will then concentrate on the installation of the services, gas, water, electric and BT. 

 

Internally we are progressing with closing up the walls and plastering. Some plots the plaster has dried sufficiently for us to mist coat followed by the fitting of the casing, architraves and skirting. The 2nd fix plumbing has commenced with the fitting of the boilers and associated pipework to the kitchens, this will enable us to install the kitchen units next week. 

 

 

We have managed to complete the render and mastic to the 1st floor windows which has enabled us to commence with the stripping of the scaffold starting with block 2 . The groundworkers can now return to lay the services and complete the externals. We are concentrating on the parking bays so we can relocate our site cabins.

 

Internally we are progressing nicely with the 1st fix mechanical and electrical, following on with the plastering. We have plots now which are dried out and ready for the mist coat of paint. This then allows us to fix the boilers and radiators. Next week we can the start 2nd fix joinery, door casings, skirting and architrave.

 

 

This week we have completed the 1st fix mechanical and electrical in some flats enabling us to close the walls and commence plasterering. This is a rolling process through the plots.
