Greenheys

Project Overview

Working alongside our partner contractors Willmott Dixon once again, the Greenheys project has been a hugely rewarding, architecturally challenging scheme that has seen us push the boundaries of design and embrace new, market leading products.

The Challenge

Embracing the overall architectural intent and delivering this design-led structure within challenging budget constraints, meant we were immersed in the design process from pre-tender stage.

Close collaboration with our colleagues at Willmott Dixon was imperative in order to engineer an innovative and cost effective solution that would deliver the fundamentals of the design, and ensure a smooth and seamless installation on site.

The Solution

From the outset, we were engaged through a two-stage tender process, working closely with Willmott Dixon to develop a design solution and cost plan that aligned with the client’s budget.

This early involvement allowed us to integrate key interfacing packages, understand design complexities, and co-develop a delivery strategy that was both efficient and robust.

Over a 27-week programme, we installed 5,000m² of complex curtain walling and SFS, including technically challenging feature fins.

The Outcome

Greenheys has been a fantastic project for RED Systems to deliver alongside our valued customer Willmott Dixon. It’s a true example of what can be achieved when early collaborative engagement is prioritised – resulting in the right product, at the right price, delivered on time and to the highest quality.

The project was delivered on time and stands as a benchmark for our capability in façade delivery.

“We’re proud to say that Greenheys has been nominated for “Best Use of Curtain Walling” at the UK Façade Awards this November – a recognition of the professionalism, planning, & execution that went into this scheme. At RED Systems, we don’t just deliver buildings- we build lifetime partners, and Greenheys is a shining example of that.”

“It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with the team from RED Systems once again on this landmark project. The unique design & exacting specifications meant the RED team really had to think outside the box & work extremely closely with our project team & designers throughout the build process. Another impressive example of collaboration and innovation in action, bringing this challenging project to life on time and on budget”
