Aragon’s objective was to improve living space for these tenants whilstincreasing the property’s value. By doing this Aragon could also offerlarger homes to growing families in the future.
FSG scheduled the build works to extend and renovate two bungalowsat a time. Six extensions allowed for a second bedroom on the propertyand the remaining four provided additional living space throughout.
To ensure that tenants remained comfortable, especiallythrough the winter months, Aragon relocated each of them to a vacantproperty on their housing stock for six weeks until works were complete.
FSG helped each tenant relocate by instructing a removal company tomove furniture and belongings to their temporary home.
Each bungalow received a remodel to the interior to uphold Aragon’sstandard of housing. Some works included new kitchen installations andheating system upgrades.
On completion we organised for all to be moved back and the FSG teamwent above and beyond by plumbing in washing machines, hangingcurtains, mirrors, shelving and more.
