Our team at One Victoria in Manchester continues to make impressive strides in bringing this landmark project to fruition for our client, One Heritage Group PLC.

Significant progress has been made on both Blocks A and B. The completion of the substation at Block A marks a crucial milestone. Internal first fix M&E has reached level 4 on both blocks, including essential systems such as rainwater downpipes, soil vent pipes, and ducting.

Frames and glazing for both Blocks are complete, along with SFS steel and cement board installations. Mast climbers have been installed on both Blocks, aiding in the near-completion of cement board and EDPM waterproofing across all elevations. We are now ready to begin installing slip bricks on both Blocks, enhancing the exterior's aesthetic appeal and durability.

Like a lot of the new buildings going up, they're very box-y in appearance. Soulless, no character to them. I'm not impressed by them.

And yes; I have no doubt that big money is being spent on them.

At least the different developments and apartments are uniform and brick all the way along Ordsall Lane. Nice continuity and pleasent. Well, I think so.

Thats Simpson Haugh for you. One design fits all. It's actually a bit cheaper to use the same design with tweaks.

Longworth - Linkedin

Our current progress at London Road Fire Station in Manchester. Our skilled operatives have completed the Bauder Flat Roofs Bakor hot melt roofing system which included paving and ballast, as well as waterproofing around the plant screen steelwork posts.

To the walls, we have now completed the voestalpine Metsec plc SFS system and Weatherkem sheathing board, moving onto the rainscreen sub-grid framing. Next up will be the ROCKWOOL UK Rainscreen Duo-slab insulation and PFC Corofil cavity fire barriers. Once all the supporting works are completed we'll be installing a Proteus Engineered Façade Technology ® HR Rainscreen panel with a bespoke KME Brass external finish.

Yes. It’s turned out really well hasn’t it.

That’s why I’m really looking forward to seeing House of Social, First Street, when that’s completed. The exterior is brick.

Thankfully more and more property developer are using brick again, even though it’s more expensive and time consuming.
