Wands Road SW8

Wands Road SW8

Wandsworth Road development was a building project which converted a terrace of three houses spread over ground to second floor into five stories high building, with additional Basement and third floor, as well as an infill between this property and the adjoining one, thus resulting in a terrace of four buildings, containing a number of one, two and three bedroom flats.

The ground conditions were extremely varied but comprised mainly of soft grounds in the upper layers, thus necessitating construction of foundations by means of piling and re-supporting the entire building on a new thick raft slab set upon the piles.

Due to the absence of any externally available room for construction purposes, the concrete raft slab foundation structure was hit and miss stitched into the principal perimeter and internal load bearing walls. The upper levels were constructed with steel framing including for concrete and timber floors. The project value was £2 million and the developer was Laurence Fawcett Group.
