Client & brief
Shaviram is a private equity investment group established in 2013, who have transformed both residential and commercial investment properties into state-of-the-art developments.
The client identified a gap in the market for modern, high-spec apartments in Fleet, Hampshire. After identifying and securing the perfect building in the optimal location, the client needed a turnkey contractor to complete a full strip-out, reconfiguration and refurbishment. Westminster House & Elizabeth House benefit from being in an excellent location close to Fleet high street, just a short walk from supermarkets, shops and eateries.

The project managers are great at communicating clearly, and the team is hard-working and reliable. They have the right balance between being professional and friendly, which makes it easy to work with them. We would highly recommend them!"

The DRG solution
Having worked closely with the client on previous commercial residential projects, DRG was delighted to support the Shaviram Group in their new venture. Working within the existing structure, the project kicked off with a full strip-out. Once key areas of the structure had been made good, such as windows, roof and façade, the fit out began, with internal partitioning and doors added to create the apartments. All apartments were individually finished, and featured spacious, open plan living spaces and modern appliances, with carefully chosen fixtures.
Externally, drainage was improved, a stand-alone bike store was built, and landscaping and outdoor lighting was added, along with electric vehicle (EV) charging points.
