Helping Deliver One Of Manchester's Flagship Developments
Location: Manchester
Products Supplied: Infrared sensor taps and pulsed-output water meters.
Project Overview
The First Street regeneration transformed a prominent brownfield site in central Manchester into a vibrant mixed-use neighbourhood, bringing together residential accommodation alongside significant commercial, leisure and cultural space. Delivered over multiple phases, the development required reliable building services products capable of supporting modern standards of efficiency and long-term performance. VIP contributed to the project by supplying sanitaryware and water metering solutions for use across the development.
Our Approach
Working across a large, mixed-use regeneration project required dependable products and responsive technical support. VIP supplied a range of infrared sensor taps alongside water meters with pulsed outputs, helping provide practical solutions for modern building services. Drawing on over 40 years of industry experience, our team worked closely with customers to ensure products were supplied in line with programme requirements, backed by the product knowledge and customer service that has become synonymous with VIP.
Execution
As construction progressed through multiple phases, VIP coordinated product supply to support the ongoing installation programme. Infrared sensor taps provided a hygienic, water-efficient solution suited to busy commercial and shared-use washroom facilities, while pulsed-output water meters offered compatibility with modern building management systems where remote monitoring of water consumption was required. Careful coordination and reliable supply helped keep materials available as different areas of the development were completed.
The Outcome
First Street has become one of Manchester’s landmark regeneration schemes, combining homes, workplaces and public spaces within a thriving city-centre neighbourhood. VIP was proud to support the project with dependable product supply and technical expertise, helping deliver practical water management solutions for a complex, multi-phase development. The project demonstrates our ability to support large mixed-use developments with knowledgeable service, quality products and a commitment to looking after our customers from enquiry through to delivery.
