Four phase residential development delivered in collaboration with RG Carter
Four phase residential development delivered in collaboration with RG Carter
Working with RG Carter for Broadland Housing Association, the Sigmat team has completed Phase 4 at Canary Quay. The four phase residential scheme in Norwich, overlooking Norwich City’s football ground, aims to deliver new affordable homes to tackle the city's housing crisis.
Highlighting the advantages of modern methods of construction (MMC) and working collaboratively, the Sigmat and RG Carter teams developed safer and more efficient methods of working by completing the balconies at ground level and lifting the finished element into place. This further reduced on-site risk and provided additional programme benefits, with the scheme completing ahead of programme.

Phase 4 comprised of 101 affordable living flats across 8 floors, providing a total of 4,265 linear metres of internal and external wall panels and a total gross internal floor area (GIFA) of 7,737m2.
“Working with RG Carter on phase 4 of Canary Quay has been a pleasure. Following the success of the first three phases, RG Carter have embraced the dynamic nature of light gauge steel frame (LGSF), demonstrating once again the superior nature of constructing in LGSF along with the green credentials that MMC brings to the market.” Steve Blows, Contracts Manager, Sigmat
"Sigmat have been a key partner to the RG Carter Ltd. team that has delivered four phases of the Canary Quay development, for Broadland Development Services since June 2018. Their market leading LGSF system has enabled each phase to progress on programme and ultimately be handed over on time. Their whole approach to delivery from initial enquiry, through pricing, design, fabrication, and site build has been professional at every stage and I look forward to working with them again in the future."
