LOFTHOUSE PREMIER CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
SUPER PRIME RESIDENCE
ON SURREY/HAMPSHIRE BORDERS
The primary goal was to create a luxury home that not only exudes elegance but also caters to the practical needs of everyday living, entertaining and wellbeing. The design was envisioned to be highly secure, modern and eco-friendly, reflecting a commitment to contemporary aesthetics and sustainable practices. Additionally, the project sought to incorporate innovative features, ensuring that the home would be eco-friendly and cost-effective in terms of operational expenses. Emphasis was placed on utilising innovative construction methods, leveraging cutting-edge technology and techniques to push the boundaries of modern building practices.
Project Challenges
The location for this incredible build presented some challenges. Notably, its position within a floodplain meant the foundation work required continuous pumping and excavation to facilitate the concrete pour, and the house needed to be piled to ensure stability and durability in the floodplain environment.
Demolition
This included carrying out pre-demolition surveys, applying Section 81, risk assessment, and planning, including 3D phased method statements. Full soft strip and demolition included crushing material on site, pile mat installation, reduce-level excavation, asbestos removal, and contaminated ground remediation.
Sustainability Statistics
• 100% of wood recycled
• 99% of construction & demolition waste
• 100% 900 tonnes crushed 6F5 material – this was used on-site for piling mat construction
• 100% 52 tonne, metal
• 99% total all materials recycled
Preparation & Groundworks
The demolition and groundwork preparation presented its own set of difficulties. During this phase, substantial amounts of asbestos were discovered illegally buried on the site. To address this issue, a specialised contractor was enlisted to remove the asbestos in full compliance with industry health and safety guidelines.
Steel Framework
The structural backbone of this residence is constructed from over 90 tonnes of precision-engineered steel. Our expert installation team, supported by cutting-edge machinery, completed the entire steel frame within just three weeks. The meticulous engineering of the steel framework facilitates the inclusion of substantial cantilevers on both the balcony and roof, showcasing the project’s architectural ambition.
