United House wins contract with Eastend Homes
|
Eastend Homes has chosen United House to redevelop and refurbish 200 apartments in the Island Gardens Estate in Tower Hamlets. The project, with a value of £2.5m will see the transformation of the estate as part of the first joint project for the two organisations.
Due to previous under-investment, the introduction of the Decent Homes Standard, has given an opportunity to improve the lives of the residents living in the properties. The refurbishment includes an upgrade of the communal areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, re-wiring the buildings and general maintenance.
The choice of United House for the refurbishment was based on the decision of local residents who were heavily involved at all stages of the selection process.
United House’s strong background in development, regeneration and refurbishment has been recognised by the residents and Eastend Homes’ decision to award them this work.
The refurbishment of the site is due to commence in September 2008. The expected completion date of the project is summer 2010.
Jeff Adams, Chief Executive of United House, commenting said, 'We are delighted and excited to be taking on such a venture. This scheme is very resident focussed and local residents were heavily involved in choosing us to do the work for them. This is fantastic recognition of the work the United House team do and our reputation in refurbishing large scale construction projects.'
