Northern Ireland social homes provider Radius Housing has struck a deal for new project managers.
McAdam Design has been reappointed to the company's Project Management Professional Services Framework, which will see them work on a number of major new housing development projects across the region.

The company will provide a range of NEC3 Contract project management services, which will ensure delivery of the best quality and value for money in new housing developments across Northern Ireland.
This is the second project management framework which McAdam has undertaken on Radius' behalf, including the regeneration project at Fort Green in Bangor, which was Radius' first mixed tenure development.
The new partnership will include more than £80 million worth of construction projects, including 244 homes at Visteon, 49 homes at the site of the old Ebrington Primary School in L'Derry and 130 homes at St Patrick's Barrack in Ballymena.
