Calvin Thomas Way, Wallingford
We provided an extensive technical working drawing package for a greenfield site on the edge of the Oxfordshire town of Wallingford. The new residential settlement delivers 125 mixed-tenure dwellings in two phases (Phase 1A and 1B).
Phase 1A consisted of 49 plots comprising 35 houses and 14, three-story apartment blocks. Phase 1B consisted of 76 plots, all consisting of houses.

Challenge
During the design stages, we had to overcome a number of challenges including:
- Various specification and detail changes at late stages
- A full review of planning drawings highlighted the need to re-design key features
- Planning drawings required reassessment to ensure full compliance with Part M4 of the Building Regulations
Solution
Initially, we provided a full review of all standard house types and technical details to be used on the project to ensure that all information was compliant with current building regulations. We also checked and approved all subcontractor designs.
We successfully re-designed the standard houses in line with new designs submitted for planning and developed new details to accommodate the new house type range. The re-design involved the production of foundation plans, general arrangement drawings, carcassing plans, roof plans, detailed sections, electrical layouts, sales plans and bathroom/ensuite elevations.
Our technical services ensure the project is delivered on time and to a high standard through successful coordination.
