Kensington Park Terrace

As part of the continued growth of Newcastle University the project consisted of construction of a new student Accommodation at Kensington & Park Terrace, Newcastle. The project delivered 350 new bed spaces on a heavily constrained site with limited access points and neighbours in close proximity.

Three new build student Accommodation blocks were constructed alongside the existing buildings on Kensington Terrace which were refurbished with some of the existing offshoots demolished. The construction of the building frame was a prefabricated structural framing system with a full brickwork outer skin. Brickworx provided a full range of Brickwork services including brick colours/types , different brickwork bonds, mortar colours, project programming and budgeting.

With only limited crane times in the morning and evening we had to be proactive to keep the large team of bricklayers busy on site to meet tight programmes. With the site being so tight ready mix mortar was the preferred option. Brickworx multidisciplinary team allowed us to provide a full and comprehensive service to our clients as a multi disciplinary company that allows a seamless passage through projects with each area given full and comprehensive consideration.
