Residential Development, Trumpington, Cambridgeshire
Hbg was appointed by Ulmann Investments to deliver a high-quality residential scheme in the sought-after area of Trumpington, Cambridgeshire. The project involved the construction of six new build, two-bedroom apartments designed to offer modern living with a strong emphasis on build quality, energy efficiency, and comfort.
The scheme was constructed using traditional brick and block methods, with a steel frame structure introduced at the second-floor level to support the architectural layout and maximise internal space. A single-coat spray render finish was applied to enhance the external aesthetic while ensuring durability and weather resistance.
Internally, each apartment was fitted with underfloor heating throughout and a full mechanical and electrical installation, contributing to both energy efficiency and resident comfort. The project also featured a high-spec curtain walling and glazing package, along with a secure door access system to support building safety and user convenience.
Precast concrete floors and stairs were used to ensure structural integrity and speed of construction, while carefully designed balcony areas and associated hard and soft landscaping contributed to the overall appeal and usability of the external environment.
Delivered over a 26-week programme, the project required tight coordination of trades and sequencing to meet the client's timeline. Hbg’s experienced residential team worked closely with the design and supply chain to ensure a smooth build process and a high-end finish, resulting in a successful handover and a valued addition to the local housing provision.
