Daedalus Waterfront Phase 1 Infrastructure

The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) is procuring a wide variety of works necessary to facilitate development of the site including preparatory works and investigations.

—All aspects of outstanding planning requirements at the time of appointment, including discharge upon completion.

—All aspects of Party Wall constraints, liaisons and adjacent notices (if any).

—Disconnection & diversion of essential existing services as necessary to facilitate the construction works and to retain the operation of maintained tenanted buildings.
