Project Description

The facility was 2 storeys and was to have 11 bedrooms with lounges and dining and activity rooms for a high level of care and comfort for its residents. The property had a large rear garden which was to be landscaped to ensure the residents has spacious areas to relax in the beautiful surroundings; the project was to be completed within 24 weeks for the client.

The Challenge
Design co-ordination to ensure the 24-week program was achievable through the design teams finding, we decided that the ground was currently not suitable and require vibropiling which was the chosen method to stabilise this with no effect to adjacent shop and neighbouring properties in close proximity.
The H&S actions required assessment to ensure the public using the pathways to the local school and shop and the neighbourhood residents were as un affect as possible by the works.
Due to the timber framed structure and the low-level area these had to be programmed very carefully as the building could not become water tight until the main roof was complete and scaffold was removed, this could easily cause difficulty with water damage within he timber frame elements of the build.
Long lead time items and services needed constant liaison to ensure the 24 weeks allocated time.
To program the fast track timber frame construction scheme together with sub-contractors to achieve the goal.

Vibration monitoring  was utilise to all sides of the property to ensure the shops and other building were not affected
Liaison with neighbours prior to commencement was paramount to ensure continual awareness of the sites presence and task ahead.
The roof was placed which allowed the scaffold to penetrate the low level roof and allowed access to the main roof and gable wall, this was felted and passed under the scaffold upon the main roof completion, this was removed and the roof completed to ensure internal trades could continue.
Health and safety paramount site compound secured with security fencing to ensure no entry to unauthorised persons.
Co-ordinated throughout by ourselves to ensure passing of lengthy lead time information and processing of order within the early design schedule.
In house staff utilised for the project that have a good knowledge of the company and procedures required.
Ensure as much of the underground works were complete to gain time at the rear of the program to ensure a quality project delivery.
Ensure the timer frame design was erected and closed in to any elements as soon as possible to ensure works could continue internally.
The facility opened upon time as we achieved routed into the building which was complete.
Team meetings with supply chain to discuss any areas of slight failings and areas improvement could be made.


Key Achievements
Due to the teams, standard snagging routine we handed over the project with effects.

Pacy & Wheatley | Teen Tech Event



A Statement from our Site and Engineering Manager - Attila Forbauer

I have attended the event to represent Pacy&Wheatley as Construction Industry Ambassador.

The aim of the event was to get talented young people interested in engineering, construction and technology.
The event was presented by Maggie Philbin from the TV program Tomorrow's World.
We had 300 children from all over South Yorkshire with their teachers.
Each Ambassador had ten kids to look after and do activities with, throughout the day.

Pacy&Wheatley's presence was noted by people from Yorbuild Framework and I was told to take photos and record that we supported the event as it is a framework requirement that contractors do so.

Mark Scott also attended and had the opportunity to do some networking with exhibitors. No debt this activity will bring new contacts in and reinforce existing partnerships.

I spent all day with my group of kids and was asked to visit schools in Sheffield to speak to children about the importance of education and explain how the knowledge in certain subjects can be used later in the workplace (maths in engineering).

I think the event was a massive success and I throughly enjoyed my 
part in it. I genuinely think that Pacy&Wheatley has a great chance to raise the profile of the company even further if we attend/support more of these events. It is a relatively inexpensive way to put the company on the social media/online map as the event has large media coverage.

The fact the I was approached by people who'd expressed their pleasure in seeing the Pacy&Wheatley logo confirms the above.

CLIENT: Norstar Ltd
SECTOR: Residential
TYPE: Refurbishment
PROCUREMENT: Tender
LOCATION: York, North Yorkshire
PROJECT VALUE: c £800k

24 new private sale studio apartments in York city centre.



The Project

Design and Build in YorkWe are delighted to have been appointed by our new client, Norstar Ltd, to refurbish a relatively new office block into a 24 luxury apartments. The site access is shared with a working office off a busy city centre route. The structure is around 10 years old and of a steel framed design with large open plan areas. Work is required to remove all internal elements including all services, internal walls and suspended ceiling system. Due to the increase of properties within the building we need to increase incoming supplies meaning a new electrical substation needs to be built along, a new larger water supply and structural alterations to make the building suitable for 24 apartments.

The Challenge

Completing the complicated design process in a very short time frame.
Ensuring that works in/ around the nearby office building are undertaken with no negative impact or disruption to the staff by consultation with the office manager about planned work and good forward planning of large deliveries.
Co-ordination of all new incoming services and statutory connections/disconnections is critical to achieving the required handover dates for completion.

The Project

Pacy and Wheatley undergo a new Design and Build project in West Yorkshire. We are delighted to have been appointed by our new client - Cygnet Healthcare Limited, to develop this project from planning to resident occupation.

Ensuring that works in and around the occupied hospital are undertaken with no negative impact or disruption to the residents and staff, with fundamental focus on maintaining the security of existing residents.
Ensuring daily communications with the Hospital management team to identify all aspects of their daily concerns and ensure control measures have been put in place.
