Site Challenges
The project faced significant challenges, including busy vehicular and pedestrian traffic which required meticulous traffic management planning and advanced control measures to ensure safety. The proximity of residents’ driveways to the works area required constant communication and temporary access solutions to minimise inconvenience.
Additionally, the single access and egress point for the new development demanded careful scheduling and coordination to ensure smooth delivery of the works. Deliveries and heavy machinery movements were planned during off$peak hours to reduce the impact to the community.
These challenges were successfully managed through proactive planning, community engagement, and innovative construction techniques, ensuring the project was completed on time and to the highest standards.

Client Testimonial
“We engaged Vista for this project because we had a complex Section 278 Agreement requiring extensive negotiations on technical issues with the council. The situation was challenging, as the existing technical approval had been disregarded, leaving us with an undeliverable S278.
Thanks to Vista's excellent work and superb liaison with the council, this S278 is now successfully on maintenance which is an outcome that seemed impossible a year ago.
Throughout the project, Vista kept us well$informed with regular updates and delivered work of an excellent standard.
Their professional approach and ability to take care of the job made a significant difference would highly recommend their services to anyone facing similar challenges”
