Problem solving at Cannan Lane ⬇️ Today, we're throwing it back to our work transforming the site of former public conveniences in the Morningside area of Edinburgh into a new five storey residential building, with a natural sandstone facade. The site's location and our choice of construction materials were both key considerations that required careful thought and planning to make this regeneration project a success. Take a closer look at how we tackled these challenges below... 📍 Project: Canaan Lane 🤝 Client: Rennick Property (Andrew Rennick) 🤔 Issue: Derelict public toilets on site of potential new homes in highly populated area of Edinburgh. Challenging site with a tenement on one side and new build house on the other - access was a key issue. Challenges of working with timber is the initial shrinkage and the design team had to carefully consider the detailing prior to the build. 💡 Solution: Demolishing toilets. Creating a five-storey apartment block which (unusually) was constructed from a timber frame. Detailed planning had to be taken to manage site access issues and potential disruption. Carefully considered detailing prior to the build. #engineering #solutions #construction #realisewhatspossible

While the cancellation of the Birmingham to Manchester section of HS2 impacts the construction industry along with a reported potential cost increase of £10 billion, Birmingham Curzon Street Station is progressing with the 300m Curzon viaduct taking shape into the station due to open in 2026.   The last quarter of 2023 saw the commercial market in the Midlands gain some momentum, recording its best figures in the Birmingham market over that year.   Office take-up for the year ahead looks encouraging, with significant client interest in space around the Birmingham business district. Gleeds is already engaged with a large public sector client to relocate their existing offices into a central hub serving circa 50,000 sq ft of new Grade A space. This is in addition to commercial offerings at Beorma Tower and Smithfield markets.   For more insight into the local market, read my Midlands update in the latest Gleeds UK Construction Market Report: https://lnkd.in/eP9YmbnV

£40m turned to rubble - I don't understand how this can occur. 36 brand new homes had to be demolished - and then a further 44 homes 👀 Construction is high value and high risk - getting the details right and mitigating risks at the outset is essential in reducing the #abortivecosts that plague the industry.

Trends in Housing Construction 2024 The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a surge in the construction of new homes as more people strive towards home ownership. However, this trend is now becoming more extreme with larger yet smaller homes being built. Roofs are becoming flatter while buildings are becoming taller. Additionally, there is an increasing trend towards building terraced or semi-detached houses, where houses are built next to each other. As more people are working from home, rooms are being repurposed or entire spatial developments are being rethought to accommodate home offices. Read More : https://lnkd.in/dKgFmMkT

How to get a start on these construction projects

Metro Vancouver Construction Industry Thrives in 2024! 🚧🏗️ As we approach the end of 2024, the construction landscape in Metro Vancouver is bustling with activity and innovation, setting the stage for a transformative future! Here are some of the most exciting developments making headlines this year: Record-Breaking Construction Activity The construction sector in Metro Vancouver is on track to achieve remarkable milestones, with over 33,000 homes projected to be completed by the end of the year. This represents a significant response to the ongoing housing crisis, as demand continues to outpace supply. Despite this progress, many municipalities still face below-average construction starts, highlighting opportunities for growth in areas like Pitt Meadows and North Vancouver. Major Projects Nearing Completion 2024 is set to be a landmark year for project completions, including: - Gilmore Place: The first phase of this major mixed-use development will deliver nearly 1,600 homes along with significant retail space, enhancing Burnaby’s Brentwood Town Centre. - Oakridge Park Mall: Expected to open later this year, this redevelopment will feature the world’s largest Time Out Market and over 3,300 homes, aiming to reshape Vancouver's retail landscape while addressing housing needs. - New Vancouver Art Gallery: Construction is anticipated to commence in late 2024 on this cultural landmark designed by Herzog & de Meuron, promising to enrich our community's artistic offerings.

Modular construction is fast becoming the latest go-to trend for greener housing build. In fact, an incredible rise of 400% is anticipated in 2025 from 2022 build statistics!     This enormous growth is owing to the many benefits in comparison to a traditional build, such as;     Speed: can be completed up to 50% faster than traditional builds.  Sustainability: up to 90 reduced material waste and lower environmental impact.  Cost-Effectiveness: Controlled environments and streamlined processes.    With the demand for greener housing and more sustainable construction practices from the government, Modular Construction can offer an eco-friendlier approach to the construction sector.     While the commercial modular construction sector (like office blocks and hotels) is already well-established, we're now seeing huge growth in residential modular builds too as home builders recognise the advantages.    Connect with Rasico to discover how we can elevate your upcoming project by incorporating the latest construction trends.    #rasico #rasicoconstruction #constructiontrends2025 #modularconstruction #prefab #greenerhousing   

Go ahead for South Kilburn masterplan housing.  Brent Council, advised by Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design, has been given the go ahead for 250 new homes within the South Kilburn regeneration area. The replacement of Hereford House and Exeter Court forms part of the South Kilburn Masterplan, which aims to transform the area into a sustainable and mixed neighbourhood for new and established residents. The proposal would see the existing Hereford House and Exeter Court buildings demolished and replaced with four new residential buildings ranging from 3 to 13 storeys, providing 250 new homes. A new public urban park will be delivered along with a total 190 trees planted across the development site. Of the 250 new homes in this phase, 121 will be affordable homes at social rent and have been designed to provide new, high-quality housing for residents currently living in blocks planned for redevelopment in the next phases of the masterplan. The scheme will also deliver a new, high-quality local park for residents and visitors to enjoy, as well as a number of commercial units to meet local demand and add to this vibrant mixed-use regeneration.  Councillor Shama T. Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Growth, at Brent Council said: “This is a major opportunity to turn a currently under-utilised area into a thriving, rejuvenated community. This scheme will provide local families with safe and secure homes in the area.” Tibbalds provided planning consultancy services and input to the project, submitting the application on behalf of the Council. Karakusevic Carson Architects are the lead architects and masterplanners working closely with landscape architects Periscope. Other members of the design teams include structural engineers Momentum Structural Engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers Max Fordham LLP. Lizzie Le Mare, Director at Tibbalds, said: “Brent Council is continuing to make progress on the South Kilburn masterplan, helping to meet local housing need with a regeneration programme focussed on long-term quality of living for existing and new residents. This planning milestone will also help pave the way for a better public realm, with high-quality architecture and design helping to make a positive contribution to the surrounding neighbourhood during this time of change” #SouthKilburn #masterplanning #affordablehomes #community #tibbalds #urbandesign #placemaking #tibbaldscommunity #tibbaldsplanning #regeneration
