Apartments and Higher-Risk Buildings construction planning
Apartment schemes bring frames, façades, cranes and hoists, and buildings of 18m or seven storeys and above in England now carry the Building Safety Act gateway regime. We build realistic Building Safety Regulator determination periods and the golden thread into the plan from day one.
The pressure points we plan around
- Gateway 2 approval before work starts, and Gateway 3 before occupation
- Change control for design changes during construction
- Frame, envelope and façade sequencing
- Crane, hoist and loading bay logistics on constrained sites
- Golden thread information handover
Documents we produce for apartments & hrbs projects
We prepare construction programmes, Project Execution Plans, Construction Management Plans, CEMPs and phased site logistics plans, written for the realities of apartments and higher-risk buildings rather than adapted from a generic template.
