London Borough Housing Scheme Get's Green Light

SD Structures have been working closely with Architects, PRP to bring this Central London housing scheme through planning for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Following a 6 month design and consultation process, the team were pleased to hear that the scheme will be progressing through to construction.

I have worked with SD Structures on a number of development projects whilst at Uplift. They have always been extremely proactive and responsive throughout the project. Our projects are often on complex sites but SD’s experience means we can always maximise the potential of each acquisition with intelligent, cost effective solutions. Since joining Engie (Keepmoat) I will be recommending SD for our developments.

The work that SD produced in the pre-construction and budget phase was invaluable. The detailed 3D modelling enabled us to look at how much of the building would be saved and the structural requirements in achieving the concept design. As a client we have been very demanding but SD have continued to support the scheme and deliver solutions to all our requests.
