Amanda Dunstan, ACT's Finance Manager, takes us to Arras: a northern French city that exemplifies resilience in the face of adversity. Also known for its enchanting Christmas market, it's a fitting destination for our final Class ACT of the year.

As the main contractor for this high-end residential project, ACT was responsible for carrying out extensive structural modifications. Initially, only minor roofing work was planned, but our investigations revealed severe deterioration, requiring a full roof replacement. This unexpected challenge allowed us to enhance the property with premium materials and modern features, ensuring long-term durability, sustainability and aesthetic appeal.

ACT transforms underutilised spaces beneath homes into functional, beautifully designed areas. In a sizeable and complex residential basement construction project in the heart of Chelsea, our team and trusted supply chain successfully navigated multiple challenges to deliver the project on-schedule and to exact specification. 
 
This site required multiple interventions, from temporarily supporting the property off its foundations to drawing out the equivalent of ten Olympic swimming pools of water to enable the basement excavation and construction works to take place safely.

Proactive problem-solving is essential to successfully navigate the structural and sequencing challenges that custom stone staircases often present. Mid-way through a renovation project in South Kensington, our client requested a cantilevered limestone staircase. This required significant modifications to the surrounding spine walls in order to make this feature possible, together with extensive engineering, stone strength testing and a clever steel pocketing design to mitigate the requirement for thicker walls.

Creating homes that are both stunning and highly functional is at the heart of ACT’s expertise, enriching every aspect of how our clients live. In this case study, we outline how our experienced team rises to this challenge through careful planning, effective collaboration and innovative thinking.

ACT is one of the leading main contractors for high-pressure, complex residential construction projects. This case study illustrates how a cast-iron project roadmap, innovative procurement, early joinery design and seamless coordination ensured both speed and exceptional quality.
