Property and construction consultancy Wakemans has been commissioned by the charitable housing association Cymdeithas Tai Eryri to advise on the development of a £1.1million enterprise centre in Botwnnog, north Wales.   

Wakemans is acting as employer's agent and are utilising the expertise in their Birmingham office to act as BREEAM consultant and assessor. The enterprise centre has been designed and specified in accordance with the BREEAM 'excellent' requirements as required by the Welsh Assembly Governments for any public funded buildings.

"The new enterprise centre sets a high visual standard and will demonstrate how quality sustainable buildings, which are in keeping with a rural setting and do not detract from the local character, can be developed," says Wakemans associate director Dylan Morris.

The new complex will incorporate offices, workshops, two computer suites, a conference room and a café for use by the local community of Botwnnog on the Lleyn Peninsula. The scheme is being part funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, the Welsh European Funding Office and private funding by the client Cymdeithas Tai Eryri.  

The scheme is currently under construction and expected to be complete by May 2011.
