What DMWR did

The project was developed from RIBA Stage 3 to Stage 4 with a focus on technical coordination and regulatory compliance. The team directed the scheme through the Gateway 2 application and determination process, assembling the detailed evidence and robust safety information required for approval under the new Building Safety Act regime.

A fully coordinated technical design package was developed, resolving complex structural, architectural, and services interfaces to create a buildable and efficient solution. Close collaboration with the Building Safety Regulator ensured that every aspect of the design aligned with current legislation and best practice, helping to streamline the approval process.

The project is now progressing to delivery on-site, supporting the Principal Contractor to ensure the approved design and vision is realised in a controlled, high-quality, and compliant manner.

The Outcome

DMWR successfully secured the Gateway 2 approval for the Bollo AB project, marking a key milestone in its progression. With this approval in place, the scheme will move forward into the delivery phase.
