Practical completion was successfully achieved on 20^th July 2009 for the PPD Phase III building at GrantaPark, Cambridge, for MEPC.  CWC were responsible for the detailed design of the M&E Services for the occupation by PPD Global, the pharmaceutical clinic trial organisation.

The building, designed by Wilson Mason Architects, was construction managed by MACE with Project Managers APE and Civil and Structural Engineers Glanville Consulting.  

CWC are proud to announce that the recently completed Maple House Project has been awarded a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.

The project was challenging in a number of respects; not least due to the short timescales involved and the fact it was the first project in the country to go through the more onerous BREEAM 2008 Fit Out category assessment.

CWC worked very closely with Client SERCO, Contractor ADT, building surveyors Workman and BREEAM assessors Scott Hughes Design to achieve the award.

CWC are pleased to announce the completion of Greenquarter Development: Melia House, Masson Place, Barton Place, Jefferson Place, Britton House, Vallae Court and Cypress Place.

CWC worked closely with Simon Bridge, Crosby Lend Lease. Simon offered the following comments:

"I have appreciated your practical approach to the difficult challenge of achieving buildings of architectural merit, which perform in use and maximise returns by optimising the balance between generating revenue and minimising cost. I believe that all those involved in the above projects should be given credit for what has been achieved at Greenquater in transforming a waste land into a pleasant and vibrant place to live and work.”

Greenquarter is located close to the MEN arena in Manchester City Centre.

CWC has been involved with Greenquarter for over 5 years, and have been responsible for both the utility infrastructure procurement and the M+E design and implementation for Crosby Lend Lease.

CWC are pleased to announce the practical completion of 19 SpringGardens.
