Rund provided Technical Due Diligence, Employer's Agent, and Clerk of Works services for a residential development in St Leonards designed for modern families.
Project Background

L&G Suburban Build to Rent (SBTR), as part of a forward funding deal with Chartway Partnership Group, is offering a selection of 92 two-, three-, and four-bedroom homes in the beautiful seaside location of St Leonards-on-Sea. Designed to be environmentally friendly, the homes are being fitted with air-source heat pumps and solar panels. Each property has a private garden and private car parking, making them perfect for young families looking for long-term homes.

The wider development comprises a food store, local facilities, and external landscaping. With close links to schools and public transport, the location is ideal for those seeking to move out of London but remain at a commutable distance.

The Solution

Initially appointed to provide Technical Due Diligence, Rund’s comprehensive service covered all risks associated with the scheme. Applying our specialist knowledge, we prepared a report reviewing compliance issues such as Right of Light studies and planning and building control approvals to ensure that the finished development met regulatory standards.

Having now progressed into a post-contract role, our Employer’s Agent service involves monitoring that the terms of the contract are met and the required level of quality is achieved. Our scope of service includes attending site meetings, preparing financial statements, and visiting site to ensure that the properties are being completed to the required standard.

As Clerk of Works, we are attending site weekly to carry out inspections, ensuring that the works meet the drawings and specification. Our reporting includes providing a summary of work in progress/complete, progress against programme and possible delays, quality control and compliance, and health and safety issues and inspections. Our thorough investigation and diligent oversight are ensuring that L&G SBTR’s vision for modern families is coming to life, offering homes and communities for generations to come.
