The detail

A key feature of Craigmillar Town Centre’s Masterplan, the new ENLOC development, which received a ‘Performance Beyond Compliance’ award from the Considerate Constructors Scheme, consists of a concrete frame building with precast Techcrete concrete panels and a rubber membrane covered roof.

Replacing unfit council premises with vibrant community engagement spaces, open plan office accommodation, and a library, the 4510m2 development was commended for the speed of our construction.

Highlighting how our people make us unique, during the in-situ concrete frameworks our colleagues worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week in order to maintain the tight programme. Collaborating closely with the Council, our Design Managers reduced costs by circa £328k, through innovative proposals, such as a suspended slab solution, without compromising on design quality.

A close relationship with the Librarian was also established and resulted in the incorporation of modern technologies and powered seating.
