Hamza Atcha, (photographed) who has lived in Gloucester all his life , enjoyed the buzz of activity around the site.

“It’s been like a ghost town round here this last year. It’s so good to see some activity in the centre of town. The Quays have been a recent focus but I’m happy to see the heart of the city is being brought back to life. “

Hamza, in his final year of Construction Level 3 Diploma hopes to pursue a career as as a Building Surveyor,

“It’s great to see the development at this early stage and then be able to come back later and see it when it’s out of the ground…..”

As a growing practice committed to our locality and Gloucester’s economic growth, we have worked closely with Gloucester College over the last 5 years offering placements to Construction students, some of whom have joined our team on a permanent basis. Quattro also supports local Education programmes within Gloucester’s schools and at the University of Gloucestershire, where we have contributed to the content of the new Architecture, Construction and Environmental courses ensuring students are prepared for job prospecting and working life after completing their studies.

As the locally appointed Commercial Architects practice, Quattro is working with E G Carter on the King’s Square redevelopment as part of an £85m Gloucester City revamp. King’s Square is a prominent prestigious project for our local area and once completed will include a hotel and multi-storey car park, as well as the replacement of its ageing buildings with 156 new homes, office space, restaurants and bars.
