Working within occupied high-rise buildings required a carefully phased approach to maintain resident safety and comfort throughout the programme. Communal-area works, including emergency lighting and stairwell AOV upgrades, were prioritised to ensure safe access for residents while refurbishment progressed. A dedicated on-site team, including a Project Manager, Site Manager and Tenant Liaison Officer, provided a constant presence within Scholes Village, keeping residents informed and supporting the smooth delivery of works across all seven blocks.
