September 2025 - Pi Consulting Report

Pi Consult, an engineering consultancy practice, was engaged by CVRL to review the documentation and drawings provided to CVRL to date, which have been completed by the various mechanical and electrical engineers employed by the developers.

Delivered in September 2025, a link to Pi Consult’s full report has been provided below. While we encourage all readers to read the entire report, some key statements stand out.

Roof Development Document Review Report – Page 3 - Summary and Findings

"Overall, the provided documentation is only completed up to concept stage with generic schematics and limited details that will not allow the successful installation of the MEP services and leaves so many gaps that Chiswick Village will not know what has been installed until the project is completed."

"Due to the lack of detailed design and the many associated gaps within the documentation which would prevent the current proposed scheme from achieving Building Regulations compliance, we have been unable to fully review the MEP documentation to a satisfactory level to allow us to advise our Chiswick Village client to proceed based on the current package."

"Currently this set of works together with the mechanical smoke ventilation systems are not included within the developer’s package. The costs of introducing these systems into the 15 blocks, together with backup Electrical supplies (typically being provided by generators) is cost prohibitive in our considered opinion to the Chiswick Village estate."
