Work had commenced on the project in February 2010 and Northern Group Build worked through adverse weather to deliver for another satisfied client. We utilised our direct labour skills, experienced management team and trusted supply chain to ensure that build quality was maintained throughout the development. Our own in house tilers completed tiling to all apartments and the choice of tiling as a preferred floor finish in the living areas has proved a popular specification.

NGB look forward to continued work in the Ancoats area of Manchester as the area continues to thrive and regenerate.
