When the time came to extend and remodel the existing home we were all excited and nervous, because this was a live environment and the alterations to the existing building were huge including the laundry, kitchen, office, car park, 10 of the bedrooms etc. etc. The project was planned to take over a year because of its staged nature. Now all the works are complete the difference is unbelievable, you would not even recognise it as the same place.
We actually enjoyed the process, as did our residents, Croft spent lots of time explaining and leasing not just over the main parts of the project, but also the day to day, hour by hour nature of the whole building process. We are all very proud of the work that we do, and doing it in an inspirational environment makes a huge difference to the wellbeing of not only our residents but also our staff. A few months later we were awarded an Excellence in Building “Community Project – Winner”
Croft says: This project was a mission, but very satisfying, and to know how well it has been received is incredibly satisfying. Our expertise at creating interior features was really brought out, with some interesting use of British Gypsum systems, along with feature brick work. We were also able to offer a cost/benefit analysis of extra insulation-under floor heating- tied to a ground source heat pump, which was taken up and proved highly economical and reliable in use. To share an award at the end of the project was a great way to complete this. We have subsequently carried many smaller projects, and offer a 24hour Maintenance call out service also.
