The problem
When local developer, Wyndcrest, were faced with building a 5 storey timber-frame block of luxury flats next to Tattersalls in Newmarket covering 95% of the site area, they were faced with an almost impossible material handling problem.

The solution
Wyndcrest managing director, Brian Martin, happened to see an R&B crane working in nearby Cambridge. One phone call to them solved his material problem, by using the smallest footprint SETC in their fleet, R&B were able to use the only space available to site their IGO18 crane.

The result
Before calling R&B, Brian had planned to complete the superstructure in 18 weeks, and he didn't anticipate that he'd finish the work in only 14 weeks due to the continuous availability of the crane and increased productivity.

"I never considered this approach until I worked with R&B," Brian said. "They're the only organisation I'll go to in the future," he added.
