Key Features
- Etec carried out a major demolition and new build project on behalf of a private developer to create new housing on a disused site on Marlowe Road, Walthamstow
- This was a large plot with an existing building that had previously been used as a warehouse and as a cinema
- We carried out demolition works to make way for a new residential building comprising nine self-contained flats
- These consisted of two bed flats (x7) as well as larger three bed flats (x2)
- This was a modern design with a mixture of two and three storey construction using innovative materials
- Construction works were sequenced over a 42 week programme
- We installed high quality fittings to all kitchens and bathrooms along with full interior decorations
Challenges and Solutions
- This site is located in the centre of a busy residential area just off of the main shopping area along Wood Street
- Access was therefore limited and required close logistical coordination to ensure that materials and plant could be delivered to site on time without causing disruption
- We used CGI to create a visual 3d representation of what the finished project would look like. This greatly helped with incorporating client choices and ensured that they would be happy with the final result
