🏙️ Navigating the Complexities of Urban Construction Projects Urban construction projects present unique challenges that demand innovative solutions. At Pittman Concrete, we are well-versed in overcoming the hurdles of building in dense urban environments, and we're eager to share insights on how these can be effectively managed. 🔍 Limited Space: In cities like Calgary, space is at a premium. Efficient use of available space is crucial, often requiring more precise planning and coordination. Implementing modular construction techniques can be a game-changer, allowing components to be pre-fabricated and quickly assembled on site, minimizing disruption and maximizing space efficiency. 🔇 Noise Restrictions: Urban areas typically have strict noise regulations to consider. We prioritize the use of quieter, modern machinery and plan work schedules around permissible hours to minimize disruption to local communities. 🚚 Logistical Hurdles: The logistics of transporting materials in and out of tight city spaces require careful planning. We use just-in-time delivery systems to reduce on-site storage needs and coordinate closely with local authorities to manage traffic and ensure safety. 📋 Case Study: A recent project in downtown Calgary showcased our ability to adapt and innovate. By utilizing advanced concrete pumping technology, we were able to streamline the construction process, even in the restricted urban setting, ensuring timely and successful project completion. 🏗️ Staying Ahead: Urban construction isn't just about solving problems as they arise; it's about anticipating challenges and planning strategically to avoid them. At Pittman Concrete, our proactive approach ensures that urban construction projects are managed with expert precision. Urban construction may be complex, but with the right expertise and strategies, these challenges can be effectively navigated. 📞 Contact us at (403) 899-0585 or visit our website: https://pittmanconcrete.ca #PittmanConcrete #UrbanConstruction #ConstructionChallenges #CalgaryConstruction #InnovativeSolutions #ConstructionManagement #SpaceEfficiency #NoiseManagement #LogisticsPlanning #BuildingCalgary

The Niche Studio team are currently supporting Development Victoria with the redevelopment of the former Fitzroy Gasworks. This site is being transformed into a mixed-use precinct that includes commercial space, community facilities and affordable housing opportunities.   Niche undertook a detailed review of five alternative design options for Parcel A within the Fitzroy North precinct and provided a report identifying the following: •Opportunities and constraints associated with the approved Development Plan. •Opportunities and constraints if Development Victoria were to challenge the current 10 storey height limit (time, stakeholder/community expectations, urban design outcomes etc). • Opportunities and constraints associated with the five identified design options.   The final report provided an outline of the planning policy and provisions that impose influence on the use and development outcomes for the subject site. The report also included an analysis of the alternative five built form layout options, providing commentary on the benefits, constraints and opportunities of each option. In particular, Niche looked at overshadowing, laneways, chamfering, setbacks, green rooftops/podiums, wind tunnels and ESD opportunities.     Our team are excited to continue our involvement on this project, having been engaged to assist with additional development applications in association with the Fitzroy Gasworks Site. #FitzroyGasworks #UrbanPlanning #DevelopmentApplications #PlanningReport

This Appeal decision overturning all 16 reasons for refusal by Lambeth Council to re-develop this brownfield site with 24 new apartments and houses in the middle of an urban block on Brixton Hill, Lambeth, London was one of the highlights of last year. I am especially pleased by this result because by the time of the enquiry 6 reasons remained unresolved which were all design related such as character, massing, living conditions and impact on neighbours. The Inspector found the design to be satisfactory in all matters and confirmed that we managed to optimise the capacity of this brownfield site with a high-quality design-led approach. “It (the proposal) therefore complies with Policy Q5 of the L-LP which requires local distinctiveness to be sustained and reinforced and Policy Q7 of the L-LP which requires high quality design. It also complies with Policy D3 of the LP which requires a design-led approach to optimise site capacity and high quality design.” – Inspector appointed by the Sectretary of State Client: Platinum Land Planning Consultant: NTA Planning LLP Legal: Thrings Surveyor: Delva Patman Redler LLP, Gerald Eve Acoustics: Venta Acoustics Environmental: Sevenoaks Environmental Consultancy Ltd Sunlight / daylight: Anstey Horne Fire: BB7 Aeolus Air Quality Consulting Energy / Sustainability: Energylab, WSP Heritage: The Built Heritage Consultancy Transport: Travel and Transport Planning Consulting Ltd (TTP Consulting) Consultants: Rory Harmer, Anna French #residentialdesign #regeneration #brownfield #brixton #london #contemporaryhome #contemporaryarchitecture #rohacsarchitects #rohacs
