Christmas has come and gone as has the second wettest year on record. As we look forward to a drier 2013 the roof is nearing completion and the final shape of the building can be seen. Also externally we are preparing to add the final touches to the external cladding with the white render about to start and the timber boarding underway.
Internally the services
fit-out and plasterboard wall construction are well under way and painting has
started on the ground floor. Sinks, showers and basins are progressing in the
en-suite bathrooms and it is possible to get a feel for how the bedrooms will
look in their final state.
The basement plant room
is progressing well.
Externally we have started to prepare the entrance works onto the Upper Brighton Road. We appreciate that this is inconvenient and we assure you that we will complete the works as soon as practicably possible. If all goes well this should be before the end of February.
External landscaping
has just commenced in and around the tree conservation area as we clear the
jungle of brambles and undergrowth. No long lost treasure yet!
Once the entrance off
Upper Brighton Road is complete then works will start to the new ramp into the
underground car park. This will reintroduce excavators,
muck away lorries and concrete wagons to Langley Avenue for a period of about
three weeks. Be assured that we will be as diligent as before in keeping the
road clean and clear for residents.
The crane has become a
local landmark over the last year but we are saying goodbye to it later this
month. The dismantlement of the crane will be shortly followed by the removal
of the scaffold. This is a key moment in the construction process as it allows
the full effect of the building to be seen for the first time and allows us to
proceed with the landscape gardening.
