This brownfield distressed project had been started by another contractor who had effectively “downed tools” and abandoned the site.

Quadrillion were invited to tender and price the remaining and outstanding works through to completion so that the client could market and sell the apartments and let the retail/commercial unit to an incoming tenant.

Much of the design had not been fully detailed, with the structural steel frame to the new build only partly erected and refurbishment of the existing property not even started. The project was already behind programme and the client and Funders were keen to recommence works as quickly as possible.

Using our own labour force and our integrated supply chain, Quadrillion started on site within two weeks of being invited to tender and immediate got to grips with all aspects of this project.

By managing the design process, the build programme and establishing a strict quality control regime, Quadrillion very quickly gained the confidence of the Funder’s monitoring surveyor.

The six contemporary apartments in both the Victorian building and the newly constructed building were successfully completed in 36 weeks along with the shell, core and fit out of the retail unit, all to the delight of both the client and the Funder.

Quite an achievement from effectively what was a standing start!
