New Social Housing Scheme And Community Facility
Sprunt have submitted a planning application to London Borough of Lewisham for a new sustainable housing scheme with family centre and community facilities in Deptford, south-east London.
Sprunt's initial recommendations include setting up a framework arrangement to establish appropriate supply chain partners together and anticipated costs of proposed future works.
The arrangement, which is also designed to help reduce expenses associated with advertising and the selection process of each contract, reflects Sprunt's commitment to promoting long-term relationships with progressive and innovative contractors.
Marcel Hendricks, director, Sprunt said: "Aligning and uniting CHWS2 and its residents with appointed contractors from the outset will have a positive impact on completing works in a cost-effective and timely manner".
"It's a proven formula that we believe works time and time again".
Following a condition survey, the first phase of works to 1930s-built Christchurch House will include concrete repairs, window renovation and renewal as well as refurbishment to the building's lifts and common parts.
"It was the efficacy of the new arrangements that were of principal concern to us," commented John Dobson, Christchurch House SW2.
"The framework arrangement successfully releases the managing agent and company directors from an inappropriate and excessively demanding workload".
"It also provides us with an opportunity to obtain realistic and objective costs and to implement a proactive resident PR programme, as suggested by Sprunt.".
