Hallam Court Works Update - 1st November 2023
Welcome to your latest works update where we regularly update you on our progress with the works being undertaken at Hallam Court.
If you have any queries, questions or concerns about the works please contact your appointed Resident Liaison Officer (RLO), Michael Olaadedini on 07402 861 522.
It is our intention to provide a regular update to residents as to what works have taken place and what works are upcoming. In between these updates the site team will be contacting you to make appointments for any surveys or works that need to be done to the outside of your flat or near your flat.
Our progress to date:
- Completion of scaffold to the rear of the block
- Completion of the front balcony decking and the rear balcony decking
- Works to carry out intrusive investigations to reveal timber framing on 7th November
- Scaffold to the side elevation (Stratmore Road) still ongoing
Windows - We would like to remind everyone to keep their windows closed (due to potential but not anticipated noise/debris/dust etc.) as well as the privacy element. The debris from all of the works is very light and can easily be blown back into your property.
Scaffold Health & Safety Risk - We would like to remind everyone not to smoke on their balconies and throw cigarette butts on the scaffold along with other items such as rubbish, toys etc. Unfortunately, cigarettes and cigarette butts can easily be blown back into the building and/or onto the scaffold or existing cladding and cause a fire.
Residents Meeting: Our next resident's meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 29th November from 6pm-6.30pm. Instructions on how to join the meeting will be included in our next newsletter. This meeting will provide an opportunity for us to discuss important matters and address any concerns or suggestions you may have.
Minutes from the last resident meeting held on 25th October:
Q1: When is the completion of this ongoing project?
We are currently still in the design stage and expect this to be reviewed by week commencing 6th November
Q2: Residents said, she has a concrete slab on her balcony. She asked, are they going to change her balcony too?
No, as concrete is generally considered to be a fire-resistant material due to its non-combustible nature.
Additionally, the residents also enquired about the present stage that we are now on this project.
We are due to have structural information and report complete by November. Once we have this, we can produce a programme to include a start date and anticipated completion dates.
