Working in partnership with Hazel Rise Ltd, Carter Construction was contracted to provide a fully encompassing design and build package for the planning, design, construction and marketing of 24 luxurious and quality Apartments at Station Approach, Duffield.

The construction works consisted of the full demolition of an existing service station and extensive ground decontamination. This was followed with a full CFA piled foundation and ring beam system, constructed under the supervision of Network Rail, due to the adjacent mainline railway. The superstructure consisted of traditional masonry construction with precast concrete floors, concrete stairs, lift-core, etc forming 4 floors of habitation, with a steel framed and traditional cut timber roof covered in a natural Spanish slate. The individual Apartments were then finished to an exceptionally high standard and specification, including all services, underfloor heating and whole house ventilation. As we strive to factor in environmentally friendly technologies where possible, Carter Construction also introduced the very latest SMART metering technology for inclusion within the project. This simple, yet effective, measure actively aids in facilitating the reduction of energy consumption used by the occupant – enabling them to reduce their carbon footprint.

Externally, extensive civil works were under taken, incorporating new service mains, 100m3 stormwater attenuation system, external lighting, car park and entrance road construction, block paving and a modern architecturally designed landscape.

The project also included the design and build of 8 luxury garages, using the same quality and specification of building materials utilized within the Apartments, incorporating automated garage doors and full amenities.
