We successfully delivered the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and ventilation (EMPV) services for the prestigious Park View residential development on Darwin Street, Birmingham. This £3.5 million project saw the creation of 116 high-quality apartments, complete with communal facilities such as bin stores, cycle storage, and secure parking.
The development was built using a steel frame and SFS framing system, finished with a brickwork façade for both strength and style. Working under a traditional contract, our team handled the full mechanical and electrical fit-out, including the installation of site-built apartment bathrooms.
Thanks to our expert project management and technical skills, we completed the EMPV package on time and within budget. The result? Modern, energy-efficient homes that meet all building regulations and sustainability standards.
Our focus on quality, safety, and efficiency ensured everything ran smoothly, strengthening our reputation as a trusted contractor for large-scale residential developments.
