Advising Salix Homes on the Greenhaus sustainable apartment development part of Salford's 50-acre regeneration with English Cities Fund. We are advising the Offsite Homes Alliance on the procurement and delivery of a construction new build and modular framework. Our contentious work includes advising a regional contractor on liability issues following structural failures at a care home and disputes over a power station in the Falkland Islands. 

We are actively involved in the Constructing Excellence Manchester Best Practice Group and promote Construction Best Practice through our seminars and webinars held at our offices on a monthly basis. Nationally we are the forefront of best practice in promoting use of modern methods of construction in housing development and are leading on advising on the changes to fire safety for residential accommodation under the Building Safety Act.
