This four-unit development features high-spec architectural design and quality finishes throughout. The project comprises three two-bedroom units and one three-bedroom unit, each with an ensuite and a main bathroom. Designed over two levels, the ground floor accommodates open-plan kitchen and living areas, with bedrooms located on the upper level. Each unit includes internal-access garaging, with living spaces opening onto private decks and landscaped courtyards. 


Focus Project Services managed the tendering and contract negotiation process, ensuring the build was procured efficiently and on favourable terms for the client.


Throughout construction, Focus provided client-side Project Management services, successfully delivering the development on behalf of Vale Property Group. Responsibilities included programme monitoring, stakeholder coordination, health and safety oversight, quality assurance, and defect management, ensuring a seamless delivery process.


In parallel, Cost Management – Quantity Surveying services were also provided, covering financial contract administration, payment claim assessment, variation management, and final account completion. This disciplined approach to cost and forecasting control proved critical during the Covid-19 affected economic environment in which the project was completed.
