Olympic Village

Osprey Quay Portland

A development of 77 residential units with associated external works which will house the athletes competing in the 2012 Olympic and Paralympics sailing events. The houses are constructed to a code set out for sustainable homes at level 4.

Acheson was the preferred contractor and worked closely with the client on project costs during the bid to secure the site. This was a successful collaboration and the company then worked with the client during the detailed planning submission phase, advising on design, build-ability issues, value engineering and life cycle costing.

Delivery and quality are key issues for The Olympic Authority and these are monitored monthly. The project continues to meet all target milestones, which are set eight weeks ahead of contractual milestones. Quality standards are constantly being met and the project has a completion date of January 2012.

Contract value £11m
