Row stick for the Quinta da Bela Vista housing estate

They say that the topping out marks an important moment in the work… and we don’t like to go against tradition and miss an excellent opportunity to have a party!

It’s been days of hard work, a lot of hammering, a few head-butts on the scaffolding and a lot of cement that insists on sticking where it doesn’t belong… but we’ve reached the top!

Now that the 52 flats are officially skeletonised, we took the opportunity to toast the work, the team and this noble reason to stop work for a little while (or a lot, depending on how many toasts there are).
