With the block now watertight the plaster boarding can begin internally while the bricklayers build up the facework externally with the help of hop-ups which are intermediate levels of scaffolding.

The party wall insulation is installed and held in place with a membrane, loft and ceiling insulation will follow shortly which are held in place by support netting.

 

 

The scaffolding surrounding the block also includes a series of loading bays which assist with getting the windows and bricks to where they are needed.  They are also useful storage on this tight site.
