The Cullompton Health Centre Pond
Not very visually appealing in this shot as we were still under construction. The site is built at the bottom of what was sloping agricultural land which in heavy rainfall conditions would contribute copious amounts of run off into the town's drainage system. This is not ideal as the site is at the top end of the drain system. The hole just visible in the centre of shot leads down into a holding tank which delays the release of excess water into the drains. More drainage tricks will be needed as we cover over the land behind this site with proposed housing.

Finishing up
Finally applying the 1.5mm thick Acrylic finish coat with hawk and trowel. The solid block wall (by mistake) is covered in an anticrack fibreglass mesh overlapped on all joints to aid strength and stop cracking. There is no cement in these products, relying on air movement and evaporation to dry, a challenge in English weather conditions. Fibreglass corner beads are applied with a straight edge and access to the high areas was conducted off a tower scaffold which is not every workers ideal. Being under Health and Safety guidelines operatives on site where required to wear hard hats and steel toe cap boots, the high visibility vest a requirement on sites with motor traffic. The final coat applied at 1.5mm is trowelled to achieve flatness and texture, this side being in the shade took three days to dry. When dry it is colour fast waterproof and low maintenance for up to 20 years making it ideal on this project.

The South End
A challenging build of Steel frame infilled with concrete block. A well insulated roof clad mainly in Zinc. All white areas are 100mm thick polystyrene slabs bolted to the blockwork, plastered over with a German Acrylic render system. The rest of the façade is of Cedarwood, a low maintenance sustainable pine from the Mediterranean, considered to age well and have a nice grain and is of a reasonable quality to work with. Cedarwood also has excellent weather repellent properties being oily and repellent to moths. High grade K-class windows finish the weather seal for this 2008 public Health Centre.
