Congham Hall

Project management of hotel spa refurbishment project. The scheme was significantly over budget and shifted from Design & Build to a Construction Management procurement route after extensive value engineering (VE). The VE avoided the demolition initially planned and reduced the footprint of the new build-area, reducing embodied carbon and cost. The scheme re-focused on revenue- generating priorities, enabling works focused on the refurbishment of the changing rooms and delivering a low-embodied carbon timber link/ pergola. Phase 1 of the new-build scheme was successfully delivered through COVID lock-down with the addition of five Orchard Cabins boasting MMC/SiPS to reduce energy demand. The project was delivered with care to enhance surface water management through swales, and the surrounding areas were managed with ecology support to protect endangered species. Phase 1 is complete and the next phase is awaiting instruction.

Dial Corner

Strategic support through to planning ahead of project management to deliver Para 131 earth bunded home, completely off-grid and free of fossil fuels with an exceptional SAP 166A rating, providing third-party verification of the highest energy efficiency standards and carbon emission mitigation. In occupation, Dial Corner will deliver significantly better than net-zero emissions (-7.44CO2 tonnes/year), a standard in advance of the UK Government’s Law with a 2050 mandate. Of the 15 million Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) registered in the UK, Dial Corner’s EPC, once built, will be in the top 0.001%. Dial Corner’s energy efficiency and carbon mitigation can be accurately described as ‘one in a million’.
