 “The project has gone well – we’ve never had any problem and you’ve always been very accommodating.”

Project Manager, Barrett Homes

History

Upton Park is a well-known area of London once home to the West Ham football stadium formerly known as the Boleyn Ground. This development is situated just minutes from Upton Park tube station and a short journey from bustling central London.

Streamlined by Diligence, Delivered by Sapphire

With planning already approved, Barrett Homes aspired to ensure the balcony design remained consistent with the original drawings while enhancing efficiency and installation speed.

A key constraint was the slow installation of balconies elsewhere on the project, making it crucial to find a faster solution. Additionally, to comply with planning permission, soffits were excluded, resulting in a distinctive underside design.

To overcome these challenges and ensure the project was streamlined by diligence, the balconies were delivered prefinished and ready to Glide-On™ seamlessly onto pre-erected support arms. This streamlined approach enabled some balconies to be installed in as little as six minutes, significantly accelerating the on-site schedule and improving overall efficiency.
