Buxton, Student Accommodation
The project was built between two railway line on a site that had Japanese knott weed.
Initially the plan was to use a steel framed solution, but this did not
work with the budget for the scheme so we value engineered the project
using load bearing masonry as an alternative saving around two million
and getting the scheme to the desired budget.
