Scope of Works

Ensigna Construction successfully delivered the project on time through a structured approach focused on detailed programme coordination and quality control. Key works such as roof cleaning, ceiling installation, and decoration were carefully sequenced, while pre-work surveys and photographic records ensured high-quality outcomes. Regular snagging and sparkle cleans further supported client satisfaction.

Health and safety were prioritised with site-specific risk assessments and method statements, including special measures for hazardous material removal at Home Park Adventure Playground. Clear and consistent communication with Lewisham Council, including weekly updates, ensured alignment on goals and timely approval of additional works.

The Challenges

The project faced several challenges, including maintaining public access at Home Park, which required careful planning and temporary barriers. Specialist materials for roof and brickwork repairs at Bellingham sites demanded proactive supply chain coordination to prevent delays. Environmental regulations influenced roof cleaning and bird netting work at Home Park, while effective communication and oversight were essential to manage teams across the three sites and ensure smooth multi-site coordination.

Results

The project was delivered on time and within budget, achieving key improvements across all three sites. Upgrades enhanced the safety, functionality, and appearance of the facilities, making them more welcoming and fit for community use. Sustainable, durable materials and energy-efficient M&E upgrades extended the buildings’ lifespans, while the removal of hazards and installation of bird netting improved safety. Positive feedback from the Council and stakeholders highlighted the high quality of workmanship and effective project delivery, showcasing Ensigna Construction’s strength in managing complex, multi-site refurbishments to a high standard.
