Building the Future with CARTREFI LIMITED

The redevelopment required careful consideration of archaeological findings due to the historic importance of the former hotel where our team worked closely with the Vale of Glamorgan Archaeological Society to ensure a sympathetic restoration in line with the requirements of the planning authorities. Weekly client meetings were held with the Clerk of Works and the on-site team to ensure specification and compliance. Despite logistical challenges in a town centre location where access was very restricted, we engaged with CCS and the community and adhered to the Programme of Works and successfully completed the project on schedule, ensuring certification for sound tests, structural warranty, and other regulatory sign-offs.
