Landmark Redevelopment Success!
It’s great to see the proposed development at Smallbrook Queensway in Birmingham secured planning consent on 28th September.
We are delighted to have assisted CEG with financial viability and engineering support services for this landmark redevelopment in the China Town area of the city. The development will now deliver many high quality and sustainable homes within the city, close to New Street Station.

The Risk of Stalling Healthcare Projects

The Risks Stalling Healthcare Projects There's a version of every healthcare project that looks deliverable on paper. The site sits within the right catchment. It's in the strategic outline case.
