The blocks are two-storey general needs properties with council-owned and leasehold flats. The works are to be delivered in occupied residential premises and must be planned to minimise disruption to residents, leaseholders and neighbouring properties.

The project includes specific constraints: occupied dwellings; leaseholder notification requirements for flats 1, 4 and 10 and other affected flats before works commence; assumed asbestos in soffits and undercloak strips; scaffolding and working at height; restricted access, no landlord power or water supply, and the need to maintain front and rear ingress/egress throughout the works.
