This extensive, high-profile development is built on the old West Ham Football Club ground, situated in Upton Park, east London. West Ham F.C. played at the ground from 1904 to 2016, when they relocated to their new ground at London Stadium, Stratford.
The overall development consists of 842 new homes, all designed to make the most of natural light with large glazed sections to maximise daylight entering the properties.
Enhanced security, accessibility, weathertightness and high thermal performance were all essential elements of the brief for this project. This meant that our Pre- Construction Team had to collaborate with the Design Team much earlier than usual to ensure we were able to provide a
comprehensive solution. RED arranged project specific testing to ensure the proposed design didn’t just meet the theoretical requirements of the brief but also delivered effectively once the products were installed on site. This level of pre-project testing helps eliminate error and keeps the build schedule on time and on budget.
RED Systems have been awarded multiple phases of this high-profile project because of the overall efficiencies they have delivered. They are 100% service driven, meaning they work closely with our site teams resulting in a highly cost-effective and flexible approach. Their manufacturing model means they are agile and always deliver on time. A great partnership.
We were asked to develop a solution to meet the project requirements of Security, Accessibility, Weathertightness and High Thermal Rating. Through our RED Pre-Construction Team, we were able to meet all the requirements whilst meeting the project budget. The first phase we secured were Blocks L&M, having successfully delivered this phase, Barratt were keen to work with us on the subsequent phases. To date, Blocks G, F, L & M, H & J have been undertaken, Blocks C, K & N are onsite now with D & E in negations to commence in 2021.
