Case Studies Overview
Travelodge/Sunderland
Really convenient like… We’re looking forward to building this – it’s in the pipeline right at this moment – so watch this space (and then book yourselves a great night out in Sunderland).
Passiv Bays/Tyneside
oooh…steady…! Although we’re renowned for our timberframe we can turn our hand to other exciting stuff too. This particularly interesting challenge was part of a refurbishment project to adapt existing homes to Passivhaus standards. And…
Extra Care Home/ Teesside
Supporting the heart of an established mining and shipbuilding community, this 42 bed care home with communal areas sits right under the Eston hills. An interesting build using Posijoists meant we kept the M&E boys…
Student Accommodation/ Newcastle upon Tyne

Private residential accommodation / Cumbria
This project presented an exciting opportunity to embrace latest warm wall technology to maximise solar gain from the two storey glazed elevations whilst avoiding the need for masonry for the external elevations.
Extra Care scheme / Sunderland
This 44 bed scheme was the first build in the North East for a national housing association. Our client approached us to work with them to build a structure which was energy efficient to BREEAM standards, and which was constructed as safely and efficiently as possible in order to reduce build programme.
Private residential accommodation / Northamptonshire
The brief was to build five luxury houses on undulating wooded site within a desirable residential area just outside Northampton. Our client required a high performance build; maximising the use of glazed areas to fully exploit the mature landscape setting.
Student accommodation / Sunderland
Our client wanted a fast track build for a five storey student accommodation block in the centre of Sunderland which necessitated careful engineering – the site was tricky, bordered by a main thoroughfare and a railway line.
