McBains supports completion of new 419-room student scheme near Nottingham

McBains recently celebrated the successful completion and delivery of Beckton House, a new 419-room purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, acting as project monitor on behalf of Zorin Finance.

Developed by Cassidy Group Ltd, the scheme provides high-quality, self-contained studio apartments alongside dedicated study areas, fitness facilities, a cinema room, private dining facilities and communal spaces, creating a modern environment for students.

Throughout construction, McBains provided independent project monitoring services to Zorin Finance, delivering technical oversight and reporting on progress, cost, programme, quality and construction risk. By providing timely, objective advice throughout the development, the team helped ensure the funder had the information needed to make informed decisions and protect its investment.

Charlie Kemble-Davies, Associate Director at McBains, said: "Successful project monitoring is about far more than reporting progress. It's about giving funders confidence that risks are understood, issues are identified early and projects are being delivered in line with expectations. We’re proud to have supported Zorin Finance through the successful completion of Beckton House and to have worked alongside a collaborative project team to help deliver an excellent outcome."

The development was officially opened on 1 September, with rugby legend Mike Tindall MBE attending the launch to mark the completion of the scheme ahead of the new academic year.

The successful completion of Beckton House further demonstrates McBains' expertise in project monitoring and technical due diligence. Acting on behalf of banks, funds, investors and developers, the team provides independent advice across residential, student accommodation, commercial, industrial and mixed-use developments, helping clients manage risk, protect investments and deliver successful outcomes.
