An ongoing collaboration between JMS and Hatzola Northwest Trust exemplifies this commitment.

Project Case Study
?? Turn up the sound to listen to our project overview
During this project, our structural engineers identified non-load-bearing walls for safe demolition and recommended installing structural steel frames to ensure the building's integrity. By incorporating galvanised steel beams and reinforced columns anchored to existing masonry, we will create safe, spacious openings for ambulance access. Our approach ensures full compliance with British Standards, while using temporary supports during construction to maintain the structure's safety throughout.
For many years, JMS have worked closely with the broader community in North London. This project reflects our focus on balancing community-centred projects with commercial developments across London. Whether it's designing office complexes or residential buildings, we consistently prioritise sustainable solutions that benefit both our clients and the wider community.
We look forward to seeing the continued progress of this vital community project as it moves closer to completion, supporting Hatzola Northwest Trust 's life-saving services.
