The project involves the new build of 3 Student Accommodation Blocks and Associated Hard & Soft Landscaping Works.

The regeneration is providing much needed new homes, an entrepreneurial hub for Brighton start-up businesses, new academic buildings, managed student accommodation, shops, cafes and car parking which have been designed around a new public green space.

In total, this sustainable development will create over 1,000 new jobs locally and contribute over half billion pounds to the city’s economy over the next 10 years.

CHPK Involvement

Based on the client’s satisfaction with CHPK on the SCAPE Phase 2 Project, SCAPE appointed us to act in the same capacity on this development also. As such, we manage this project in exactly the same way, with monthly CDM Meetings onsite and H&S Site Inspections.

This gives us the opportunity to apply lessons learnt across the two projects, ultimately increasing our ability to positively affect CDM compliance.
