description: 138-unit mid-rise residential development delivered under a Design & Build procurement route.
The primary structure comprises a steel frame with a secondary framing system (SFS), facade envelope and coordinated fire strategy. The scheme is BIM-led, technically detailed and programme-driven, with structured information release aligned to procurement and fabrication.
Shell & core delivery will require disciplined sequencing and tight tolerance control across:
- Structural steel
- SFS installation
- Sheathing and fire interfaces
- Facade systems
- Compartmentation strategy
This is a technically demanding envelope and interface-led project.
Role

A Construction Manager who:

- Appreciates sequencing risk between frame, SFS and facade
- Understands fire stopping strategy at SFS interfaces
- Can interrogate technical drawings and connection details
- Is confident challenging subcontractors where standards slip
- Is highly present on site and detail-oriented
