The proposed project is the construction of a new residential development over five floors with retail space provided at ground floor. The detailed construction solutions are yet to be fully resolved, however it is likely that the scheme will comprise piled foundations, with reinforced concrete ground slab and load-bearing superstructure with lightweight concrete floors. Elevations will generally be a mix of masonry and render with brick detailing and full height glazing to some elevations.
Internally the scheme will comprise blockwork partitions to core and party wall areas and dry lined partitions to the apartments. Finishes will generally be emulsion paint to plastered or dry lined walls, plasterboard painted ceilings, laminate flooring to living space and bedrooms and ceramic or vinyl flooring to bathrooms. Domestic mechanical and electrical services will be provided throughout the apartments and landlords areas, although the retail space will be left with capped services. Lifts will be installed to the cores serving the apartments from ground level.

This project comprised the re-development of the existing Listed Post Office building in Fleet Street, Torquay. The project consisted of a Metro format store with a nett sales floor area of 10,096 ft2. The Metro store was set over two floors with the sales floor, bulk storage, chillers at ground floor and back of house office and plant at first floor. The apartments comprised 4 studios, 6 one-bedroom units and 12 two-bedroom units, and were set over the first to third floors and occupied the vacant office space above the post office.
The works comprised the part demolition of the existing sorting office and reduce level dig to achieve the required headroom within the store. The cliff face to the rear of the site required rock stabilisation. The store superstructure works comprised a traditional steel frame with Ranilla cladding and Trocal roofing. Internal finishes to the retail store were to Tesco's design standards.
The apartments were completed to a high standard with laminate flooring to circulation areas and ceramic flooring to bathrooms. Landlord's areas were carpeted. All kitchens were provided with cookers, hobs, extractor fans and washing machines. Bathrooms comprised bath with shower over, WC and sinks.
