STATUS:

Legendre’s engineering department has played a significant role in the Horizon development, having redesigned the concrete frame to adopt French shuttering methods and planning the construction of the two-storey basement below sea level.
Faced with the twin challenges of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, the Legendre team and its partners have had to be flexible and proactive in adapting to changing circumstances thanks to a strong team made up of individuals from Jersey, France and the UK.
Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the plans for Horizon were reviewed to ensure non-flammable materials were used and the development is the first in Jersey to receive a EWS1 certificate.
