Project Overview

Claremont Court, built in 2010 and home to 45 leaseholders, required remedial works to improve the safety of the building. Previously classified as a B2 building, it was one of the first in the country to use the new PAS9980 methodology for managing and reducing fire risk in high-rise residential buildings. The £3 million project was funded by Developers, Hill, to ensure costs were not at the expense of residents.

 

Scope of Work

The fire remediation project at Claremont Court involved the remediation of a 7-storey residential building, 17.9m in height. The original Developer, Hill, was engaged to complete the remedial works under the Remedial Works Agreement.

 

Keegans' Role

Keegans were appointed by Tower Hamlets Community Housing (THCH) to provide Clerk of Works and Contract Administrator services. Additionally, Keegans conducted an EWS1 assessment upon the completion of the project. Our Contract Administrators managed and oversaw the works to safeguard client interests, ensuring building compliance and quality assurance through independent quality checks throughout the construction phase.
