Scope

A. C. Whyte & Co. Ltd was employed as Main Contractor for the refurbishment of terraced properties in Pappert, comprising a structural insulated cladding system. The houses are of non-traditional construction and the Client specified a structural insulated cladding system as a cost effective method of extending the life of the defective properties. The system provides a rigid, structurally continuous envelope around the building with a render finish and reduces the need for difficult reactive remedial works in later years. During the course of our works the Client instructed a further 36 houses to the contract.
