Rund has been appointed as Employer’s Agent and Clerk of Works by joint developers, Bewley Homes and A2Dominion, on a new residential development located on a former school campus.
Project Background
The unique project involves the redevelopment of Rydens Enterprise School and Sixth Form college. The project is currently in its second phase and involves the creation of a total of 296 units, comprising one and two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom houses. Rund is assisting on the affordable side of the project, where 94 affordable units were created in phase one, and 34 will be created in phase two.
The redevelopment promises to create a vibrant environment, featuring a mature landscape setting with open spaces and playing fields to encourage recreational activities. Jubilee Meadows is set in a picturesque riverside location, close to shops and restaurants and nearby to Walton-on-Thames railway station for regular connections into London.
The Solution
A sympathetic programme of works has also been developed to ensure minimal disruption to nearby residents, with designs in-keeping with those of neighbouring properties.
We have been involved from the beginning of the project, providing our Clerk of Works services to ensure all units are built to a high specification and follow exacting quality standards. In addition, our Employer’s Agent role involves in-depth contract administration and project team coordination, ensuring all works are built in line with requirements.
Several units have been developed close to the railway line, so we have added value to the project by closely monitoring works and ensuring any conflicts during and post-construction are avoided.
