This major refurbishment of two listed tower blocks (designed by Sir Denys Lasdun) in the East End of London required specific skills and both technical and resident liaison expertise.

These blocks suffered from major structural failures requiring invasive repairs and works to upgrade insulation levels to meet modern standards and at the same time still satisfy the stringent requirements of English Heritage. Mulalley were selected after a rigorous interview as the best contractors to meet these requirements.

Liasing closely with English Heritage we provided bespoke solutions to the serious construction problems we encountered but the project still proceeded on programme and was completed to an excellent standard. So pleased were English Heritage with the design solution Mulalley provided they commissioned a video to record the entire process. The buildings are now a great testimony to the project team and demonstrate that constructive and cost effective solutions are possible to meet the requirements of these unique parts of housing history.

A large part of the success of this project was due to the great efforts of our Resident Liaison officers who worked closely with the community to minimise the disruption to their homes and enabled this project to proceed as quickly and harmoniously as possible.

The Mulalley Project Team were delighted to be awarded a Bronze Considerate Constructors award, with the judges citing that we had "developed a very impressive model for working around residents, the project demonstrated this in practice".
