Eco-homes on course for Waltham
Brooks were invited to provide cost analysis with the architects at the planning stage and subsequently received the contract to construct the much anticipated extension to provide a balcony area for members to enjoy after golf games and to provide the many functions including weddings, christenings etc... with an area that makes full use of the breathtaking views of the golf course.
The construction is mainly steel with hardwood timber decking to all floors and stairs. Handrails are formed using brushed stainless steel posts that hold the clear toughened glass units to give unobstructed views of the course. The hardwood handrail finishes off the section. Projects of this type throw up a number of challenges, for instance, to minimise impact on the enjoyment of members golfing and social activities and involved working closely with staff and social members to achieve this aim. Uplighting and mood lighting add ambiance well in to the late hours of the summer nights. A lift was also installed within the building to provide access to the 1st floor along with a revised strategy for emergency lighting and fire alarms.
