Grace House –Aster Group project

The Uniti process was recently used to ensure that a new apartment scheme in London met the client’s needs and specification.

Overview

Grace House is a 170-apartment scheme in the London suburb of St John’s Wood. It houses 153 affordable living apartments and 17 apartments for private rent. A range of communal areas and garden spaces have also been thoughtfully designed throughout the building’s 13 floors to meet the evolving access needs of people aged 55 and over. Uniti Heat were appointed to undertake a review of the heat network before the end of the defects period.

The Uniti process focuses on delivering the heat network that the client needs rather than what they may be given at by contractor, designers and suppliers at handover. This ensures that the scheme delivers low cost, low carbon and reliable heating and hot water for the client and their customers for years to come.

“It’s been great working with you on this project, the knowledge and experience you’ve shown and the way you’ve dealt with the heat network defects has been excellent.”

Syed Hassan, Development Project Manager – Aster Group

“We are delighted at the service provided by the Uniti Heat team at Grace House. C&C appointed Uniti Heat to undertake a review of the building’s heat network system before the end of the defects period. They have picked up a number of areas where the heat network was not working as intended and have identified a number of areas where efficiency could be improved. With their support, we are working with the contractor to work through the identified issues.”

“We were so pleased with the service that we are now looking to appoint Uniti Heat at an early stage on a number of projects to review the proposed (third party) heat networks that will ultimately provide heat to our customers. The team at Uniti Heat are real experts in their field and have a passion for improving heat networks to benefit customers and the environment. They are taking a close interest in the Ofgem Heat Network Regulation Consultation and are providing invaluable support to heat network providers throughout the process.”
