Grade II Listed Church Conversion - Dec '22 Update

Описание: Myself and business partner in F&B Property Developments - Simon Folkes, have finally started our little church conversion scheme, turning this neglected former Methodist Chapel into 6 x Serviced Accommodation apartments for the contractor & holiday maker markets.

Touch wood, everything has gone smoothly so far, just the usual grumbles re: materials costs, finance hoop jumping, fees, etc etc... My word, do these costs add up!!! This time next year...

A few things have changed as we've progressed through the pricing and specification process, namely that we're now ripping the whole roof off to replace it with a complete factory-made box (well, loft apartments - check out Moduloft... The Property Thing site visit incoming 😘), and after much toing and froing, we have finally decided to use infrared for heating the internal space. I'll just have to get over my fear of it cooking me from the inside out 😅(I know that wouldn't happen really!).

What's been completed??
▪ Foundations dug & concrete cast ✅
▪ Below ground drainage set into position ✅
▪ Strip out sorted ✅
▪ Service providers engaged✅
▪ Internal load bearing Party Walls started ✅
▪ It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ✅
We're targeting a late-June/ early-July finish on this one, aiming to pick up some bookings for the apartments before the winter slowdown 🤞

We have Rocket Construction completing the building works, Rocket Architectural Design on the designing, Rocket Heritage & Archaeology saving my blushes with the heritage requirements, and me & Simon mincing around drinking strong coffee & providing steak bakes to the site lads. #dreamteam
