CenturyFacades has secured its third phase of façade work for an apartment block in London’s largest build to rent scheme.

The building envelope specialist is working with client Tide Construction on the ambitious Greenford Quay project for Greystar. Located on the Grand Union Canal in West London, the development aims to meet the highest sustainability targets and as such is utilising modular building technology to reduce its carbon footprint.

Modular construction continues to gain traction in the UK. And it’s no wonder because off-site construction can reduce embodied carbon by up to 40 per cent, while providing exceptional quality and speeding up the overall project programme.

From next month (October 2022), Century Facades will be working with Vision Modular Systems to install windows at Vision’s factory in Bedford.

The façade installation will get underway on the Greenford Quay site in Q1 2023. The mixed façade comprises Raynaers’ commercial curtain walling, windows and doors with high quality aluminium rainscreen cladding to the tower. The main façade will be traditional brickwork.

MarkHarris, Business Development Manager at Century Facades, says: “We are delighted to have been awarded yet another exciting project for one of the biggest build to rent developments currently underway in the UK. We have worked with Tide Construction and Vision Modular Systems for more than 10 years and are looking forward to partnering with them on yet another successful scheme that showcases the benefits of modern off-site construction.”
