Pretium Frameworks’ rooftop development framework has been drawn up to help local authorities build additional homes on top of existing low-rise buildings.
The framework has been developed with, and is managed on behalf of, Watford Community Housing.
“Using under-utilised rooftops to create much-needed homes, rather than building new houses from scratch, has many benefits,” said Nick Hann, Pretium’s head of frameworks.
“As well as providing a practical solution where space is limited, it is cheaper and more sustainable to enhance an existing building than to construct a new one.
“Our new framework provides a one-stop solution, supporting housing providers to scope out potential rooftop developments, and taking them through every step of the construction and fit-out process.
