Work to construct a Multi-Storey Car Park in Thurrock, Essex were completed in June 2020 providing our private developer client with the capacity to store 8,167 cars across 6 levels.

This prominent brownfield site is bound by the M25, HS-1 and the C2C rail line and required Network Rail approvals during piling works and steel erection. The main structure is formed with structural steel, sitting on 3,000 pre-cast concrete piles and in-situ pile caps which in turn supports the in-situ concrete decks on levels 1-5. Level 5 is further protected with a multi-layer waterproofing system, as is the central ramp, whilst the ground floor and external circulation routes finished are with block paving.

There were a number of challenges along the way, including the discovery of unexpected ground conditions which required swift action by the entire project team in order to maintain the fast paced programme, which also required detailed logistical planning in terms of material deliveries given the limited amount of lay-down space on site. Despite this, the works were complete within 11 months, with a contract sum of £36.5M.

Total Project Integration provided pre-contract Project Management services along with post contract Employer’s Agent and Cost Consultancy services.

We would like to thank James Allen’s Girls’ School for their kind invitation to the Official Opening Concert of their Community Music Centre & Vaughan Williams Auditorium, which took place on Sunday 16th September 2018!

We had a fantastic evening and were privileged to experience the JAGS Festival Orchestra and Choir in their new musical space, led by Director of Music, Peter Gritton and Deputy Head of Music, Elinor Corp.

The auditorium has been named in Vaughan Williams’ honour, who briefly taught at JAGS in 1904. Hugh Cobb, Director of the Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust, shared that “Williams would have been delighted that the new music centre was to bear his name, so much of his music being intended for the wider community and the Trust, set up under his widow Ursula to promote his work”.

“Williams would have been delighted that the new music centre was to bear his name”

To celebrate the completion of the steel frame of the ‘Enterprise Centre East Northants’ representatives from East Northamptonshire Council, South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership (SEMLEP) and ASHE construction signed the last steel section to be installed to commemorate the milestone.

Leader of East Northamptonshire Council, Cllr Steven North, said:

“This project is one of the most ambitious developments we have delivered as a council and it is great to cement the hard work of all those involved by signing the last steel frame of the centre.

We look forward to working with our partners towards opening the facility which will provide businesses with a first step on the ladder to their success.”

Total Project Integration are pleased to be working closely with East Northamptonshire Council on a new purpose-built enterprise centre, which will be located at Warth Park in Raunds, to provide a range of flexible units, as well as virtual office support and access to on-site facilities including meeting space and shared office services.

Once open it will offer start-up and growing businesses first-rate flexible workspace and business support.

Construction is well underway, and it is anticipated that the centre will open in late spring 2020.

When Sir Peter Wood acquired a former BBC building on Marylebone High Street in 2014, he believed the road would appeal to those looking for an urban village established for centuries rather than a neighbourhood that aspires to achieve that status. This has turned out to be the correct calculation.

The art deco building, named the W1 London offers 19 apartments, 5 houses and a penthouse. These homes open out onto Beaumont Mews, which in the 18th century, was the site of a concert venue. Handel lived in a nearby townhouse and W-One, Sir Peter’s development group, has set out to produce a 21st century version. The London stock brick exterior is elegant, understated and blends in with the rest of the mews.

The three storeys are grouped around a central atrium with a retractable glass roof, ensuring the 7000 sq. ft is filled with light.

None of the space is wasted, although expanses of corridor would allow for an art collection to be displayed. Décor is muted but witty. The underground carpark is accessible via a lift.  Frequent fliers can reach Heathrow in less than half an hour when Crossrail is in operation at Bond Street.

Sir Peter is confident in the location “Marylebone is the most sought-after district in London, it’s no longer Mayfair or Belgravia.” He is also upbeat about the future for the city “whatever happens with Brexit, people will still want to come to London.”

We are delighted to announce the refurbishment project at Welsh Streets, Liverpool, undertaken by Place First has been recognised as Winner at the annual Building Awards 2018.

Launched in August 2017, the project involved the transformation of five streets of Victorian terraced housing to create a range of two, three and four bedroom family homes backed by shared resident gardens and private terraces.

The terraces were taken back to the brick before wholesale refurbishment. Structural alterations have created contemporary living spaces benefitting from high ceilings and large rooms.

All have been finished to a high standard with high quality kitchens and bathrooms, floor finishes throughout and enhancements to fabric including insulation and double glazed windows.

Placefirst is a leading provider of private rental residencies in the North of England. They design, build and manage an expanding portfolio of aspirational homes with low running costs aimed at the growing number of families who rely on rented accommodation for their housing needs.

Placefirst believe that renting should offer a genuine, long-term alternative to home ownership, and that those reliant on the rental sector deserve a better deal. Their holistic approach and a growing pipeline of development opportunities, Placefirst has become one of the UK’s leading providers of quality rental homes.
