Fact File

Kaymac were appointed to demolish the former caretaker's house sold by Mowlem School and build 6 new flats for Inwood Properties. Proximity to the school meant Kaymac had to carry out demolition, groundworks, external drainage, garden walls and surfacing works during the school holidays. Such constraints were challenging, but in close liaison with the school and local authority, Kaymac completed the scheme with minimum disruption to the school, and on programme. Planning considerations restricted the height of the new building, so sheet piling was required to provide a lower ground level. This also necessitated the construction of a flat roof to slight falls and a parapet.
