  • Nothing different to see from the outside but lots of internal work
  • More first-fixing – electrical and plumbing
  • Adjustments to the locations of the treads on the first-to-second-floor staircase and cutting holes in some of the steel beams to allow the MVHR ducts to pass through
  • Confirmation of the layout of the kitchen units ready for those to be ordered

Week 16, Day 4:

  • More work on the second floor boards
  • The addition of some steel plates below the steel beams over the balcony area, to support the outer skin of blocks
    • These would normally cause a thermal bridge across the cavity, but since the balcony area is outside the thermal envelope that isn’t the case here.
