Olivia Court Works Update - 1st November 2023
Welcome to your latest works update - this is where we will regularly update you on our progress with the works being undertaken at Olivia 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 the residents at Olivia Court 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 near your flat.
Our progress to date:
- Respite unit has been completed
- Front scaffold elevation has been completed
- Resident property profile has been completed
Over the next month:
- Decking installations are ongoing
Important information:
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 make of the insulation to the rear is EPS which is very light and can easily be blown back into your property.
Scaffold Health & Safety Risk: We would also like to remind residents 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.
Unauthorised access: Please note that only Equans employees and their representatives are permitted access to scaffolding. For their own safety, no other persons are allowed to climb onto the scaffold under any circumstances - this applies particularly to children! Any authorised persons accessing the scaffold outside of our normal working hours (Monday to Friday, 8am-5pm) should be immediately reported to the Police.
Residents Meeting: Our next resident's meeting will be held via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 29th November from 6.30pm. Instructions on how to join this meeting will be included within 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.
