King Edwards Wharf
Birmingham
Located in Birmingham City Centre, King Edwards Wharf (KEW) is a mixed-use canal-side development made up of around 243 apartments. Following the identification of combustible materials within the external wall build-up, KEW Right to Manage Ltd (KEW RTM Ltd) appointed Baily Garner to lead a full remediation project.
The building, over 18 metres in height, contained several combustible materials—timber cladding, spandrel panels, and PIR insulation. Navigating the Building Safety Fund (BSF) application process was essential, with urgency a key factor. The site’s location along the canal also meant environmental protection was critical, requiring coordination with the Canal and River Trust.
Baily Garner was appointed from RIBA Stage 1 through to completion at RIBA Stage 6, acting as both project managers and quantity surveyors. We were also separately appointed as Clerk of Works to oversee quality delivery.
This remediation project has significantly improved the safety and quality of life for KEW residents. By replacing hazardous cladding and insulation, and ensuring full compliance with BSF requirements, the scheme has created a secure and compliant residential environment.
Our early-stage involvement, full-service delivery, and close coordination with both safety and environmental stakeholders helped drive an efficient and well-managed process with minimal disruption to residents.
