The site was initially contracted to a different provider, to be delivered as a modular build. The site clearance works, substructure and installation of the 114no modular houses, the structures, external walls and pre-cast concrete planks to the intermediate floors and roof of the traditional constructed apartment block and the site infrastructure works have progressed.

In addition to the information requested in the SQ, Stonewater require bidders to provide some additional information, based on the requirements of the NHBC. The questions in this section can be found in Document 2 of the tender pack and are for Stonewater’s information only.
