                                 community centre. Working with our clients,
                                 we were able to redesign this single-storey
                                 building into a into a desirable two-storey,
                                 three-bedroom house.

                                 Works undertaken
                                 Our teams environmentally cleared and cleaned
                                 the building and surrounding area prior to
                                 commencement of the programme of work.

                                 accommodation for four to five people and the works
                                 included both fire and sound compartmentation.
                                 Adding value
                                 The benefits were both social and commercial with a
                                 final property value of circa £415,000.

Wyatts Lane, London E17
Community hall conversion
                                 Wyatts Lane was a disused community
                                 centre in a poor state of repair. Our client
                                 required it to be converted to a residential
                                 dwelling.

                                 Works undertaken
                                 Our teams environmentally cleared and cleaned
                                 the building and surrounding area prior to
                                 commencement of the programme of work.
                                 The newly refurbished property provides
                                 accommodation for three to four people
                                 and the works included both fire and sound
                                 compartmentation.
                                 Adding value
                                 The benefits were both social and commercial, with a
                                 final property value of circa £350,000.
                                 Duration
                                 Completed within a 20-week programme.

Coney Burrows, London E4
Community hall conversion
                                 Coney Burrows was a disused community
                                 centre in a state of disrepair, which was
                                 converted to a residential dwelling.

                                 Works undertaken
                                 This large community centre was converted
                                 into a spacious five bedroom, ground-floor flat
                                 incorporating disabled access and facilities as well as
                                 sound and fire compartmentation. Coney Burrows has
                                 a floor plan of 130m2 with a small private garden, which
                                 is situated on the ground floor of the block.

                                 This has added an extra property to the local council
                                 stocklist, with an estimated value of £450,000.
