Equans (the new name for Engie’s services-led activities) is converting Liverpool’s former TJ Hughes department store for Home Group.
The 10-storey building will have 144 one-bedroom flats, 99 two-bedroom and 15 studio apartments – all for private rent – with commercial and retail space on the ground floor.
Work is due to begin on the scheme in late 2021.
Equans said that among the stakeholders that it had consulted for input for its plans were local taxi drivers.
Tim Wood, regional managing director at Equans UK & Ireland (North West), said: “We have been working on the project for around 18 months with the various stakeholders, and have integrated ourselves into the client’s team, enabling us to increase the overall capacity of the building, while also increasing the efficiency and viability of the project.”
In the dynamic UK real estate landscape, property valuation relies heavily on accurate SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) calculations. SAP calculations, measuring a home’s energy efficiency, significantly influence property value and marketability. Higher SAP ratings not only suggest lower utility bills and reduced carbon footprints, but also make homes eligible for government incentives, enhancing their attractiveness to buyers. Additionally, properties with superior SAP ratings are future-proofed against stricter energy regulations, offering a competitive edge in a crowded market. At Ratio Seven, we specialise in precise SAP calculations, aiding you in understanding and maximising your property’s true value and appeal.
Building new homes comes with more pressure than ever to meet energy targets. Airtightness testing for new homes plays a big part in that. From improving comfort and cutting heat loss to meeting legal requirements, there’s a lot for builders to think about.
