Project Description
Chatham Waters was a new residential build consisting of two blocks: one 10 stories high and the other 15 stories. The development included 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, along with penthouses.
We installed 1,500 door sets spread over the two towers, as well as skirting and window boards throughout the entire building. Our programme included structured visits for the trades within the apartments.
With this coordinated approach and by managing teams of carpenters on incentive schemes, the project was run efficiently and economically.
Scope of Works

Challenges & Solutions
The apartments required housing units for the washing machines. To minimise noise, we designed and manufactured the units with acoustic pads.
We faced a challenge when the screed was installed unevenly (by others). Since our doors had already been installed to finish floor level on 10 floors, this meant altering numerous doors while maintaining the fire ratings.
Some doors required lippings, while others had to be removed completely, with plasterboard infills added above the door. Despite these additional amendments, we were still able to meet the programme finish date.
We also installed decking to the concourse between the two buildings, extending it to create benching and planters.
