Topping Out at Meriden Close – A Major Milestone for MPS Building Ltd

February 18, 2025

At MPS Building Ltd, we take great pride in delivering exceptional, high-quality developments. On that note, one of our most exciting ongoing projects, Meriden Close, has now hit a significant stage: the Topping Out ceremony.

This construction stage marks the completion of the building’s highest structural point, a crucial moment before transitioning into the next phases of development.

To mark this milestone, our Commercial Director, Steve Norman, joined Southern Structures Ltd on-site for a small but significant event, recognising the incredible hard work of everyone involved in the project.

What is a Topping Out Ceremony and Why is it Important?

The Topping Out Ceremony is a long-standing tradition in construction. Historically, it involved placing a tree or branch atop a completed structure to celebrate progress and thank the workers. While modern ceremonies may not include trees, they continue to serve as a symbolic moment of achievement.

For us at MPS Building Ltd, it’s also an opportunity to:

- Show appreciation for our hardworking teams and trusted partners.
-  Reflect on progress and prepare for the final stages of construction.
-  Ensure quality control as we transition into interior & exterior finishing.

Reaching this stage means that the structural framework is fully in place, and we can now focus on bringing the interior spaces to life.

Meriden Close: What’s Next?

With the concrete frame now fully constructed, the project is progressing into the next critical phases:

Internal Finishes – The next step is fitting out the interiors with high-quality materials, including flooring, doors, lighting, and all the features that turn a structure into a home.

External Finishes & Landscaping – Work will begin on the façade, driveways, pathways, and landscaping, ensuring that the surroundings match the modern, stylish design of the buildings.

Final Inspections & Completion – As we near the end of the project, rigorous quality checks and final adjustments will ensure everything meets the highest standards.

A Glimpse into the Future

To truly appreciate how Meriden Close will look once completed, we’ve released CGI renders, offering a stunning preview of the final development. These images showcase the modern architectural design, carefully considered layouts, and beautiful finishes that will make these homes stand out.

As we transition into the final construction stages, these CGIs provide a clear vision of what’s to come - a collection of high-quality, well-crafted homes that offer both function and style.

Looking Ahead

Reaching the Topping Out stage is an exciting moment, but our work doesn’t stop here. Our team, alongside our trusted partners, remains committed to ensuring the highest level of quality in every aspect of this build.

We look forward to sharing more updates as Meriden Close moves towards completion. Stay tuned for more progress updates as we bring this project to life!
