Key Challenges

The main challenges on this development involve the City Centre location of the site. We are also working adjacent to other contractors, making planning and communication of the upmost importance.

The site is of historic interest with preconstruction archaeological surveys and ongoing monitoring.

The new building is located adjacent to occupied structures; therefore we are implementing noise and vibration reduction solutions and working closely with the neighbours to ensure the minimum of disruption.

Added Value

Value has been added to this scheme through value engineering opportunities such as replacing the specified concrete frame with a structural alternative.

We have also ensured the use of apprentices, local labour and the local supply chain whilst delivering this project.

Client Feedback

“One Cutting Room Square is going to be a transformative development for Ancoats. The residents’ courtyard and onsite facilities & services will make this a flagship rental property for the area, and the anticipated commercial tenants will provide exciting new options for Ancoats residents. Eric Wright have a track record of delivering sophisticated urban developments, and we’re looking forward to completing this special development within Ancoats.”
