A Nottingham construction and property consultancy is celebrating after it played key roles in projects that have won prestigious industry awards.
One project which Pulse Associates worked on, the Heart of the Campus for Nottingham Trent University, won three awards. This was particularly heart-warming as Pulse directors Ian Carey, Larry Greenwell, and Lee Cantrill are all alumni of that university.
The £14m Heart of the Campus project was a redevelopment of the Clifton site to include a state-of- the- art teaching block, spectacular pavilion and new central plaza. Pulse were the employer’s agent and quantity surveyors for the project.
The project won categories in the East Midlands for both the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Royal Institute of British Architects and also the regional integration and collaborative working section of Celebrating Construction Awards.
In the West Midlands, they also won the heritage category in the Celebrating Construction Awards for the Swan Wing conservation project for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. Pulse were quantity surveyors for the preservation work on a Victorian Grade Two Listed Building.
Back closer to home, Pulse also project managed Blueprint Regeneration’s Hobart & Pitcairn innovative low-energy housing scheme in The Meadows, Nottingham, which won the Midlands Insider magazine Residential Property Awards. The scheme created 35 open market sale and 38 low-cost homes.
Lee said: “We are delighted to have been part of the teams involved in so many successful projects, and these awards are commendations are a reward for the hard work and dedication shown by our staff and the wider project teams.
The firm, based at the University of Nottingham’s Innovation Park in Triumph Road, has also been celebrating after being appointed to the PAGABO national framework agreement for professional services in construction and premises. This enables any public sector client to appoint Pulse directly without a lengthy procurement process, saving time, reducing costs and achieving compliance and value for money.
# The company is also celebrating five staff completing a physical challenge too. Ian Carey, Tom Spinks, James Peake, Sam Wynn, and Simon Cardwell climbed 24 peaks in the Lake District in 24 hours enduring miserable weather but raised more than £2,500 in support of Nottingham Hospice.
