Engineering specialist to deliver major PRS contract win

SES Engineering Services (SES), has added to its portfolio of build to rent schemes by securing work with main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine on a £42m mixed-use private rental scheme.

The Yorkshire office of SES has been appointed to provide mechanical, electrical and plumbing design and installation services on Mustard Wharf, Leeds, currently under construction for developer, Legal and General.

Designed by Leeds-based architect, Enjoy Design, the 8,640 sq m build to rent scheme, located at Granary Wharf, is set out across three multi-storey buildings.

It will create 247 one, two and three-bedroom apartments with communal areas, a gym and covered parking spaces.

In addition to the apartments, the development will feature retail and leisure units at ground floor level.

To overcome challenges associated with working so close to established residential and commercial area, SES will deploy its tried and tested ‘room in a box’ strategy, while using Prism, its offsite manufacturing facility to prefabricate plant room equipment and some of the building services, ahead of arrival on site.

SES’ business director North and Scotland, Steve Joyce, said: “SES is well-versed in delivering major residential schemes of this calibre, including both student and build to rent accommodation across Yorkshire and elsewhere in the UK.

“I believe it is this experience that makes us best placed to work hand-in-hand with Sir Robert McAlpine and the wider design team on the design and construction of Mustard Wharf.

“We pride ourselves on creating energy conscious spaces and delivering innovative building services design and installations that as a minimum, we match but more often exceed, client expectations.”

SES’ presence can be felt on other major projects under construction in Leeds, including a Creative Arts building and the Carnegie Teaching and Research building on campus for Leeds Beckett University.
