Project overview
The Alpha Street site is part of the council’s wider small sites initiative, which brings sites such as old garages and run-down properties back into use for new homes. The scheme provides much-needed social housing for the local community.
GA Interiors worked for main contractor LIFE Build Solutions, starting on site in summer 2020. The building contains 14 flats together with a staircase, cycle store, bin store and water booster tank room.
Our scope
GA Interiors delivered the internal walls, linings, ceilings and finishes to every flat and to the communal areas, mainly using British Gypsum systems:
- External wall linings, party walls and internal metal stud partitions
- Dot and dab linings to communal areas and stairs
- MF and suspended ceilings, including ceiling pattresses and a bulkhead to the half landing
- Tape and joint, plastering and a parge coat, including plastered stair soffits
- Insulation, fire stopping and fire-rated steel encasement at the ground floor communal entrance
- Ply pattresses for shelving and fittings, access panels and linings to the roof AOV
Outcome
All 14 flats and the communal areas were completed and the final account was agreed with LIFE Build in December 2020.
