Background

We were approached by Connect Housing Association to upgrade their existing electrical Storage heaters at Commercial St in Dewsbury. This consisted of 62 properties within a residential complex with a mixture of upstairs and downstairs dwellings. The planned works went out to tender to which we were successful and are now looking to work with Connect on other projects as well.

Challenges

Tenant Safety and Well-being: Ensuring the safety of elderly and vulnerable
tenants amidst ongoing construction activities.
Limited Space Management: Dealing with space constraints within flats
during renovations and installations.
Communication and Coordination: Maintaining clear and continuous
communication with Connect Housing and residents to manage expectations
and mitigate challenges.
Health and Safety Prioritisation: Implementing stringent health and safety
measures to address equipment, material, and trip hazards.
Tenant Belongings Preservation: Taking extra care to protect tenants’
belongings and maintain cleanliness throughout the project duration.

Result

Project Completion: Successfully completed the installation of new kitchens as per the tender specifications, enhancing the functionality and aesthetic appeal of the properties.
Tenant Satisfaction: Received commendations from residents for the professionalism and respect shown during the renovation process, contributing to a positive living experience.
Operational Efficiency: Managed logistical challenges effectively, including the coordination of deliveries and scheduling of work to minimise disruption to tenants.
Financial Management: Completed all works within the allocated budget, demonstrating cost-effectiveness and financial stewardship.
Future Opportunities: Earned the trust of Connect Housing, leading to an invitation to initiate a subsequent project, underscoring satisfaction with GSL’s performance and capabilities.

Conclusion

The Connect Housing Kitchen Replacement Project not only achieved its primary goal of upgrading residential kitchens but also exemplified our commitment to operational excellence and customer satisfaction.

By overcoming logistical and operational challenges with precision and care, we ensured that the project was completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders involved.

This case study serves as a testament to our capability to deliver complex construction projects with a focus on quality, safety, and client partnership.

I had Alex & Simon at my house. Hands down, they are the best workmen EVER, by miles. They arrive on time, are polite, super clean & tidy in their work & cleaning up afterwards. Spectacularly good work was carried out by them both. They clearly take pride in the quality of work they do & their cleanliness in people’s homes, which is sadly lacking for most trade's people today who just don’t care how shoddy their work is or have no respect for people’s property.

The two surveyor's who came out were very professional and personal, we had a laugh about one being a Wigan warriors fan and we're Rhinos fans lol. Then Rob who came out to fit the boiler again very professional and personal, very tidy workmanship. Can't thank your company enough, new boiler fitted in less than a week and easy to deal with.
