Choice Housing Ireland has a large number of housing schemes with landlord or communal natural gas supplies where we are the bill payer. In most cases the cost of landlord natural gas is recharged on to our tenants and so we recognise the importance of procuring this in an effective manner to not only ensure transparency, but to crucially deliver financial savings for our tenants. This is particularly important given the high levels of fuel poverty in Northern Ireland with the cost of energy being a major contributing factor. Full detail provided in the Procurement Documents.

The extension is conceived to meet the requirement for a communal space as part of the proposals within which the organisation can gather staff and host gathering in connection with the operation of their business. As part of the extension alterations will be carried to a rear return currently housing a secondary staircase to enable a compliant fire stair to be extended to the attic. Within the courtyard adjacent to the rear return will be an external lift shaft and service riser. The extension, stair core and lift shaft have been designed congruently to provide level access to the extension and mezzanine.
