Lovell To Deliver £17m Housing Improvement Works
Contracts have been signed by Lovell and social housing provider Cartrefi Cymunedol Gwynedd Cyf (CCG) for the delivery of £17 million of housing improvement works in Gwynedd, north-west Wales.
The contracts will see Lovell complete the remaining two years of the housing association’s four-year, large-scale improvement scheme to bring its homes up to the Welsh Housing Quality Standard. It will safeguard the jobs of more than 60 local people currently working on the programme and enable Lovell and subcontractor partners to continue to provide apprenticeship and trainee opportunities to 25 local people.
The Lovell team will begin work in April 2013 on £6 million of major refurbishment work to 73 prefabricated reinforced concrete Airey houses for CCG. This will involve building external walls and carrying out structural repairs and reroofing; installing new kitchens and bathrooms, windows, doors and central heating and decoration and external works. Lovell will also start work in May 2013 on £11 million of improvements to just over 1,400 homes including kitchen and bathroom replacements, electrical upgrading, plumbing and heating improvements and floor and wall tiling.
The work to be delivered through the new contracts is set to be completed in October 2014.
Lovell has been working with CCG since April 2011, delivering the first two years of the modernisation programme. So far, the company has carried out £18.5 million of work, including internal refurbishments, loft insulation works, external refurbishment and the installation of new heating systems. Along with improvements to tenants’ homes, the programme has created local jobs and apprenticeships as well as training opportunities and other community benefits.
