Project Portfolio - Design & Construction
Here are a selection of examples showcasing our Design & Construction Work.
Berkhamsted
Waters Developments acted as principle contractor on the re modelling and extension to this large executive home positioned on a private road in
Berkhamsted. There was a requirement to work closely with the consultant tree arborculturalist and structural engineer throughout the ground work process due to the location and position of a significantly large fir tree with a protection order attached.
Initially demolition to the rear of the property and fitment of new supporting steelwork to make way for new extension and raised veranda.
Substantial structural alteration to the existing building coupled with demolition and strip back to allow for a revised layout.

detailing with insulation over the rafters to provide feature roofs.
Roe Hollow
A four bedroom conversion to a large grade 2 listed brick barn within a conservation area in Cambridgeshire. Initially stabilising of the
building was necessary before under pinning operations to the structure as a whole.
