Due to be widely regarded as the most upmarket residential development in London, Phase 1, 2 and 3A of the £3 billion Chelsea Barracks project consists of 74 apartments & 15 townhouses.

Project Challenges & Solutions:

  • Utilising a vast supply chain to ensure our materials are manufactured and delivered to site on time and to the high quality necessary for this development 
  • With just-in-time deliveries being stipulated by the client due to the lack of available on-site storage, it was essential that this was managed effectively and consistently 
  • Specified stone and street furniture had to be sourced from many different countries  including the UK, China, Portugal, Italy, Holland & Spain 

Scope:

  • To source, supply and install hard landscaping to the Chelsea Barracks development located in the City of Westminster, London 
  • Works included granite clad planters and louvres, high-spec paving, stone cladding to public squares & private gardens, as well as installation of water features, drainage and RC 
  • Additional works included removal, refurbishment and reinstatement of railings surrounding the development which are of historical significance to English Heritage
