Affordable homes role for Focus Consultants

Residents have moved into a new development built with support from property experts at Focus Consultants.
The company acted as employer’s agent on a £1.05 million scheme in Marsden Drive, Scunthorpe, for Ongo Homes (formerly North Lincolnshire Homes), where 14 homes have recently been completed on the site of a former pub.
Focus also provided a number of other roles at the site, including Code for Sustainable Homes assessor and CDM Coordinator.
The development of affordable homes, which features 13 two-bedroom properties and one three-bedroom home, was the latest in a number of projects the Boston office of Focus has undertaken for Ongo.
Trevor Newton, partner for the Lincolnshire offices of Focus, said: “Focus played a role in major refurbishment and remodelling schemes completed last year at Ancholme Gardens, Brigg, and St Peter’s Court, Barton-upon-Humber, both for North Lincolnshire Homes, now Ongo Homes.”
Focus, which is based in Nottingham and has offices in London, Leicester, Boston and Aubourn in Lincolnshire, offers a range of services to the property and construction industry, including building surveying, quantity surveying, project management, CDM Coordinator services and sustainable development support.
The company also specialises in funding and economic development including area regeneration strategies, funding applications, economic impact appraisals, business plans, and research and evaluation.  Since 1994 Focus has also secured for clients more than £953 million of grants for projects and businesses across the UK and delivered more than £1.3 billion worth of projects and programmes – making it one of the most successful businesses of its kind in the country.

Focus Consultants appointed on energy carbon sustainability contracts

Building and property services firm Focus Consultants has extended its geographical reach with two new energy carbon sustainability appointments in the north of Lincolnshire.
The Boston office of Focus has secured contracts to assess and check the environmental credentials of two Scunthorpe residential developments, currently under construction.
Scunthorpe-based TG Sowerby Developments Ltd has appointed Focus as the Code for Sustainable Homes assessor on a scheme of 20 affordable houses and bungalows being built for Guinness Northern Counties in Morecambe Avenue, and on a project to create eight flats for North Lincolnshire Homes in Haig Avenue.
The Haig Avenue development is designed for people with learning difficulties and is a partnership between NLH, the Homes and Communities Agency and North Lincolnshire Council.
As well as acting as assessor for the Code for Sustainable Homes rating, which is an environmental assessment method for rating and certifying the performance of new homes, Focus experts have also been appointed to issue the Energy Performance Certificates and undertake the Standard Assessment Procedures for the two schemes.
“Energy carbon sustainability is one of our key services, and we are very pleased to have extended our reach further north in the county with these two recent appointments from TG Sowerby Developments Ltd,” said senior building surveyor Darren Booker, who is based in Focus’ Boston office in Endeavour Park.
As well as offices in Endeavour Park, Boston, and Manor Farm, Aubourn near Lincoln, Focus has branches in Nottingham, Leicester and London. It provides a range of consultancy services to the construction industry, including construction and property services, project and programme management, energy carbon sustainability support and economic development and funding advice.
