📣Gates successfully delivered the Principal Director (CDM) role for the Lowarth Morbies development in Truro on behalf for Housing 21.

The development required demolition of the existing buildings & construction of retirement living apartments including all services connections & landscaping. The project commenced in 2020, but the original Principal Contractor ceased trading, & a full re-tender process took place, including CDM assessment of works completed up to the point when the original contractor was no longer involved.

🛠️Construction with a new Principal Contractor re-commenced in March 2023 & completion of our PD-CDM role was in January 2026, with handover of the final Health & Safety File.

🌧️ Who would be a groundworker at the moment?! Or an NHBC Inspector?!

📷 Photo of the foundations installed taken during a CDM Audit recently – yes, there are foundations below the water in those trenches!

Just a small indication of just how much rain has fallen and the impact that the good old British weather has on construction.

Gates Consultants are working as Principal Designer for Aster at Clay Park CLT in Totnes, where work is progressing well in the construction of 39 new houses, all for affordable rent in an area where such property is in very high demand. 🏠

The plots are laid out in three terraces across a steeply sloping site, with sustainability a prime consideration in both design and construction. 🌿Green space, including shared allotment space and an orchard have been designed into the external landscape, enhancing the environmental and community aspect of the development.

This is certainly not a standard two up-two down social housing package, environmental factors in design, construction and end use are at the forefront of the project.
