Gateshead based regeneration specialist RE:GEN Group have been appointed by housing provider Thirteen to transform three supported living schemes in Hartlepool and Durham.
The company, appointed via the Prosper contractor framework, will take the role as lead contractors in the refurbishment of two community centres in the heart of Hartlepool at Ardrossan Court and Burbank Court.
Some refurbishment work will also be carried out to School View, a young parents scheme in Durham.
A range of work will include a full refurbishment to the community centres, including plumbing and heating, electrical upgrades, new kitchens, windows, doors, roof improvements and interior decoration and flooring.
The £500,000 project is expected to start on site this month and will be complete by the end of this year.
Anthony Ferguson, Partnership Services Manager at Thirteen said: “We’re delighted to be working with RE:GEN Group to improve these much needed facilities for our customers, which are vitally important to bring communities together.”
Michael Hodgkiss, Commercial Director at RE:GEN Group said: “We are proud to have been selected by Thirteen to lead the transition in delivering high quality and sustainable refurbishment solutions that meet the needs of local communities today.”
Paul Flannigan, CSR Director at RE:GEN Group added: “No one better understands the problems and potential of a community than those who live there. We will work closely with local residents and Thirteen’s customers to ensure that we fully understand the needs of the new community centres and what role they will play in their areas before work commences. Our passion is to provide the very best solutions that bring people together for the future.”
Rod Brasington, Chief Executive at Prosper, said: “We are delighted that RE:GEN were awarded the contract, their submission was very impressive and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
