Delivering fire alarm upgrades, emergency lighting renewals, sprinkler installations, fire door improvements and compartmentation works across 833 occupied homes required careful coordination at every stage. Working floor by floor, our dedicated project team combined technical expertise with a resident-focused approach, using advance communications, coffee mornings and regular liaison visits to minimise disruption while maintaining access, programme performance and consistently high standards across all nine high-rise blocks.

Resident Care and Communication

Close collaboration, clear communication and careful coordination with our residents drove the successful delivery of a £11m fire safety improvement programme.

Since the inception of the contract, Fieldway had delivered all works to the highest standard and had worked tirelessly to meet all completion timescales. All site- and office-based staff were approachable, adaptable, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure the needs of the contract and residents were met and exceeded.

Fieldway prioritised the safety of all workers and residents whilst providing a service that minimised disruption through coordinating multiple workstreams simultaneously. Fieldway provided us with confidence that they had the resources and management structure to take accountability for all work areas, underpinned by detailed weekly updates in line with the project programme.

I have no hesitation in recommending Fieldway for any complex, multi-disciplinary contract within high-rise properties and look forward to continuing our working relationship with them.”
