Six Greenwich council housing schemes hit by Helix collapse
Summary
Six council housing schemes in Greenwich have been halted after contractor Helix Construct collapsed. The Royal Borough of Greenwich is reviewing each project as part of its wider Greenwich Builds programme to determine how work can restart.
Why it matters
Contractor failure can delay delivery, increase costs and create continuity risks on residential schemes, including council-led housing programmes. Surveyors involved in monitoring progress, defects, valuations or project recovery will need to understand the implications for stalled sites and re-procurement.

- Six Greenwich council housing schemes have been stopped.
- The disruption follows the collapse of contractor Helix Construct.
- Greenwich Council is reviewing each project to plan how work can resume.
