Originally we were invited to assist the client in this, their first new-build extra care development, and act on behalf of the contractor, Bardsley Construction, as their technical arm to produce a design brief. Due to our extensive knowledge, the client decided to employ S I Sealy to provide a full design service.
The Scheme received the Inside Housing Award: Extracare Development of the Year.
