Ridge has provided a range of technical services, which were targeted at establishing a significant understanding of the condition, opportunities and constraints at each site; providing the project team with a high level of confidence early in the redevelopment process.

Our services included:

• Architectural layout plans
• Site Opportunities & Constraints Appraisal (SOCA)
• Flood risk assessments
• Traffic and transportation analysis
• Geo-technical site assessments
• Land contamination investigations
• Utility supplies (gas, water, electricity, telecoms)
• Preparation of build costs

Detailed reports were provided to the project team, allowing an iterative review of technical feasibility and financial viability, whilst aiming to maximise the performance of each site.

Ridge liaised with the Council’s Planning Department, Highways Department, and other key stakeholders, to ensure compliance with local policies, including the provision of affordable housing within each development option.
