It all starts with an idea

Every great development starts with a plan 🗺️ This early sketch of Lambeth Road is just a snapshot of the careful thought and creativity that goes into each of our projects. #justsimplehomes #propertydevelopment #propertydevelopersuk #propertylondon

Challenging electric service coordination/ ruling. This project consists of 2 buildings with shared open space between. Due to the shared space, Con Ed originally ruled this as a premise (meaning it is one building) and wanted to bring electric service into 1 building and then the owner would have to extend the electric service to the 2nd building. It is very costly to run the electrical like that due to voltage drop requiring larger feeders. In this case there was an existing underground sewer easement between the buildings that extended into the street. This could not be crossed which meant extending the electrical became almost impossible - I think an elevated concrete encased ductbank at 15' may have worked but I feared for the Architect's and Owner's sanity if that were to happen. The solution - a tenacious developer working alongside their engineer to eventually get Con Ed to provide 2 vault services, one for each building. Not a cheap solution, but the right solution.

The oldest reinforced concrete bridge in Britain interestingly does not use steel, but instead iron. The Homersfield Bridge, in Norfolk, dates back to 1869. At the time, cast iron and wrought iron were incredibly popular building materials. It wasn't until 1898 that steel reinforced concrete was first used in Britain for the construction of Weaver’s Mill in Swansea, Wales. It was also the first multi-storied reinforced concrete building in Britain.

One of the joys of surveying, is not only the impressive buildings we get to inspect but also the beautiful views from them, such as this one of Guildhall in Bath City Centre on a sunny day. However, you do have to have a reasonable head for heights...! #guildhallbath #bathcitycentre #defectdiagnosis #plannedpreventativemaintenance #buildingsurveying #buildingsurveyors #mindtheedge #dontlookdown #3SIXTYrealestate
