In November, Mont Reve continued a decisive structural push. The team cast the final transfer slab on the second floor, and the third floor slab is fully decked and ready. The programme remains on course to reach level six by the end of December, using a tightly sequenced corkscrew build that turns floor to floor in ten day cycles. Saul Berman walked the site and set out the approach:
“We are casting in a corkscrew scenario. Four floors in five weeks. Ten day cycles from slab to slab. It is being done correctly, with quality and finish top of mind.”
Mont Reve is executing a system where roughly eighty percent of internal and external components are cast in concrete. Walls, curves, and critical structural elements are formed in steel shutters at structure stage. The result is accuracy in alignment and a clean platform for all follow on trades. This method also accelerates parallel workstreams. Aluminium, ceilings, partitions, and joinery are all moving faster because the structure is true.
If the concrete is out, everything that follows is out. By pouring curves and walls directly in steel shutters and aligning the build at structure stage, Mont Reve locks quality into the frame and preserves speed without compromise.
The new structure is being tied carefully into the existing heritage facade. The team is stabilising the older elements and stitching the new slab into the historic fabric to protect integrity while achieving perfect alignment.
