Getting site-ready at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences

It’s been all systems go at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, where our team has been busy setting up the site under perfect blue skies.

The project includes the removal of existing roof lights and green roof, together with all soil and insulation. We will subsequently construct a new curved rooflight and green roof, including insulation and seating.

An impressive scaffold ramp was designed and created by CJB Scaffolding Ltd to create access from the road area to the roof of the building, allowing mechanical plant to track up and down, reducing the risk of manual handling.

Gipping’s Site and Management team consists of Site Manager, Dale Gregory, Contract Manager, Steve Offord and Associate Commercial Director and Quantity Surveyor, Joe Butler, working with Cowper Griffith Architects LLP, Structural Engineers, Buro Happold and Quantity Surveyors, Gill Associates.

    Oliver Squirrell, Old Jet Airspace Programme

  • “I just wanted to thank you again for pretty much everything! I absolutely love our home and it was totally worth the wait. There isn’t a single thing I’d change, it really is perfect. The landscapers have been now too and it’s totally transformed the outside space, it just looks incredible. I feel super lucky to live here, every time I pull up back home I smile and feel so grateful and lucky.  All the workmen have been incredibly lovely and gone above and beyond too, you have such a great team of people, they are extremely lovely and that makes a huge difference. I wish you well in all that you do creating beautiful homes for people. Thank you so so much.”

    Kayleigh Williams: Wix

  • “As a team, Gipping met every expectation throughout the project. Steve James provided the exact role and attitude required for a project of this nature. The way he managed the works on site, given the difficult “live” environment was a credit to the firm. The overall management and support for Steve from Steve Offord and Joe was also a large factor in the smooth running of the scheme. All involved should be commended and are a credit to Gipping. Thank you for your part in a very successful scheme.”

    Ben Mitchell, The Design partnership: Walden Place

  • “Carl, and the team, were fantastic during this phase of the project. Carl kept us updated with how the work was going and always had time to check with us if he thought things would impact on the running of the school. The site was always clean and tidy. The project was delivered slightly ahead of schedule, which made the transition into the build much easier for us! Thank you!”

    Hannah Brookman, Tollgate Primary School Phase I

  • “It was a pleasure working with Gipping and we are very happy with our new home. Shaun Whiting was an exceptional Site Manager and remained professional, approachable and friendly throughout the entire build. The site was always tidy, well-managed and busy. We felt as if the entire Gipping team took our project seriously and truly cared about getting the build right. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is considering building a home.”
