Provenance Gardens

This project involved transforming a greenfield site in Barnet into a private gated estate of four detached homes. The client had a creative vision for the development but required guidance to navigate the complexities of planning regulations, site conditions, and design refinements. The site presented significant challenges including steep slopes, London clay soil and strict tree preservation orders; necessitating a diligent and consultative approach.

March Construction’s involvement began at an early stage, providing expertise to refine the project’s design and manage pre-construction requirements. By working closely with all stakeholders, we ensured the development was both viable and aligned with the client’s aspirations.

Key Achievements Included:

• ‍Strategic Pre-Construction & Planning Optimisation – Conducted extensive pre-construction consultancy, revising and refining the initial design to align with planning requirements. Identified and implemented a superior approach that secured approvals, enhanced site feasibility, and streamlined construction.
• ‍Robust Groundworks & Infrastructure – Engineered a piled raft foundation to stabilise the sloping terrain and counteract London clay conditions. Installed high-capacity water and electrical mains, ensuring long-term utility efficiency and future-proofing the development.
• ‍Exceptional Finishes & Sustainable Integration – Delivered a high-spec, design-led finish incorporating Mandarin Stone, Fisher & Paykel appliances and bespoke porcelain tiles. Constructed an eco-home using SIPs, air source heat pumps, solar panels and MVHR, achieving optimal energy efficiency and sustainability.

Four beautifully designed homes combined traditional aesthetic with modern functionality.
