Yet another great turn out was achieved at the latest Constructing Excellence Croydon Club on Tuesday evening. Jury’s Inn played host to two fantastic presentations during a sustainability-focused evening.

Natasha Baum from Wilmot Dixon kick started things with an interesting look at WWF The Living Planet Centre Case Study, Sustainable Procurement, BIM, Life Cycle Costing, The Yellow Book and Social Legacy. Following Natasha’s presentation, Gary Grant of the Green Roof Consultancy presented on green roofing, green walls and building green cities, taking a refreshing approach to the subject.

Co-sponsored by Wilmot Dixon, and ourselves the event proved to be a truly enjoyable evening and certainly another success for CECC.

MDR are happy to announce the official completion of the Camberwell Station Road project.

Having been actively involved with the project from its inception in 2007 through to the final completion by Durkan Building Contractors, we have overcome numerous site difficulties to produce a mixed-use scheme that has been well received by the council and local community alike.

The scheme, built for Wandle Housing Association, has delivered 83 residential units, for both private and shared ownership along with an allocation for social rent. The resulting scheme is a credit to Southwark, with one of the largest landscaped courtyard areas in the borough.

The scheme has been subject to numerous issues that threatened its successful outcome. The design team successfully overcame problems by utilising flexible design techniques and creative solutions to issues outside of our control.

The site has been developed as two main blocks containing flats with commercial at ground level addressing the adjacent streets, leaving a semi private communal courtyard with larger family mews housing set within the private space.
