"Our role in this project was to manufacture the exterior panels in our factory for fast and easy installation on site. We chose GTEC Weather Defence over CP board because it's much easier to handle in the factory - we don't need power tools, just a Stanley knife. And it's much lighter for the installation phase which is good from a manual handling point of view."

“We are incredibly proud to be part of the regeneration of Elephant and Castle. Working with Delancey and Oakmayne from the early design stages we have used industry-leading offsite construction techniques that have allowed us to reach this milestone in record time. We look forward to taking the project to its final stages and progressing to handover in summer 2016 – providing Southwark residents and students with quality places to live".
