Key challenges and approach

Russell Bolton Consulting was appointed as employer’s agent and cost manager for this high-rise residential project due to the team’s extensive experience.

The project began in March 2021, amid pandemic-related lockdowns. In 2022, the Mulbury development management team departed, and Russell Bolton Consulting took over, providing development services to ensure the successful completion of the project in June 2023.

The team’s expertise and seamless transition helped keep the project on track during challenging circumstances, delivering the completed development on schedule.
