Project Completion — 1–11 Portugal Street, Cambridge. We’re proud to share the successful completion of 1–11 Portugal Street, Cambridge, delivered through Construction Management for St John's College, Cambridge which has been delivered on time and under budget. This project involved the comprehensive refurbishment of six student accommodation townhouses, transforming interiors from their original early 1900s condition into modern, efficient, and high-performing 21st-century spaces, while carefully preserving the historic façade that defines this iconic Cambridge street. Key Project Highlights: * Full internal strip-out and refurbishment of every room across six properties. * Installation of new stability frames to create a movement joint between new and existing structures — addressing complex ground conditions caused by a peat layer beneath the site. * All buildings achieved air tightness levels below 2 and AECB CarbonLite Retrofit certificate. * Complete M&E renewal, including Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP), Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), and a Building Management System (BMS) for long-term operational efficiency. Check out the drone footage below showcasing the completed scheme at Portugal Street — a perfect balance between heritage preservation and contemporary construction excellence.
