McLaren turns focus on building safety skills

The £77.2m job, expected to finish this spring, includes recladding a total facade area of around 24,000 square metres, full window replacement, renewal of flat roofs, installation of building maintenance units, replacement of brickwork to the ground and first floor levels and insulation to the undercroft when required.

“Working in a live environment is challenging as you would expect, with thousands of residents each wanting different things,” he says. “But it’s going really well: the customer feedback that we are gathering from residents, on cleanliness, politeness and quality of the work, are all up in the high 90s.”
