Case Study: Oval Village – Regenerating a Historic London Site (Part 2)

What makes a good blockwork package? 🧱

When you're working on a project as complex as Oval Village, consistency matters.

This development uses both Lignacrete (dense) and Lignacite Paint Grade (medium dense) blocks, with product quality playing an important role in helping the team achieve the required standards across the scheme.

In part two of our video series, Neil Baker from Lee Marley Group discusses specification, technical support, and why the selection of quality blocks helps set projects up for success from day one.
