Hello all

See below our latest update outlining progress on the Greenside development.

Updates from the Construction team

Mulalley is making good progress with water ingress remedial works, the Heras fencing has been taken down from the front of the site and the ramp to the lower ground floor car park is now complete.

Mulalley must complete the following works:

1. Submission and acceptance of s278 crossover drawings including Virgin Media & BT lowering of services (see outstanding items below).
2. Provision of compliance documentation required for handover (EPCs, lift certificates, Building Control sign off, Building Warranty sign off etc).
3. Provision of handover documentation, such as Operations & Maintenance Manuals, Health & Safety files, Approved Document B Regulation 38 pack, etc. Draft documents have been submitted for review.
4. NHBC certification, including the updated fire strategy that will demonstrate that fire safety measures are in place for phased occupation.
5. Water ingress remedial works to lower ground floor flats is nearing completion.

Please note the completion of the s278 works is not required before occupation.
