The Envelope
Start May 2024Expected to end June 2024
Status: in progress
When building a block of flats it's essential the construction is sound from the beginning. This presents new challenges for the team. To begin with, there is a complete section dedicated to stabilising the blocks from the start. As with all the other stages of construction, the envelope stage takes place in steps.
This milestone includes
Falsework installation / undersite DPC
Start May 2024Expected to end May 2024
Falsework refers to a temporary structure used to support a permanent structure during its construction until it becomes self-supporting. The Undersite DPC (Damp Proof Course) is a layer of material applied within a building's structure to prevent moisture from rising through the walls and floors.
Timber frame installation
Start May 2024Expected to end May 2024
Timber frame installation refers to the process of assembling and erecting a building's structural framework using timber (wood).
Ground to roof level
Start July 2024Expected to end July 2024
Each block is built on a solid foundation and supported by a robust framework. This framework combines masonry and timber, creating the structure for the two levels.
Striking the form work
Start Expected to end
Now that the structure has its own internal strength, we no longer need the scaffolding. The team will therefore 'strike' or remove this section. This will allow them to work inside the building itself.
Fitting the windows
Start July 2024Expected to end July 2024
After completing the building structure, the team can begin fitting the specialist windows.
