The main structures are a combination of steel framed with composite decked floors, load bearing masonry and with both piled foundations and traditional foundations.

The careful positioning of attenuation devices for surface water storage, party wall stability issues associated with a listed 5 storey tower, public house and apartment block on three sides of the site,
