Panniers Way is an 18 unit industrial and trade counter development on the northern edge of Oakham in Rutland.
The site is within a wider scheme of development aimed at boosting the local economy and creating employment in the growing town.
The units range from 1,000 sq ft to 9,000 sq ft, with cladding colours chosen to blend in with the surroundings. The design and build contract aimed to use the latest techniques to achieve an EPC A energy rating.
Faced with rising costs of materials and labour during and after the coronavirus pandemic, Wilten Construction was asked to find significant savings in the construction costs.
By modifying the soils on site and remodelling the external levels to achieve a balance of cut and fill, four thousand cubic metres of material did not need to leave the site.
Some 99 per cent of waste generated on the site was recycled. And the development incorporated permeable paving as sustainable drainage.
By practical completion the scheme was fully let.
