Fulton & Fifth Structurally Complete - A Showcase of MMC Certainty and Speed

PCE is proud to announce the structural completion of Fulton & Fifth—a landmark residential development in the heart of Wembley, delivered for client Regal.

Built using PCE’s hyTower® system build approach, this impressive scheme—comprising five high-rise towers and interconnecting podiums for residential and commercial use—delivers 876 apartments, 40% of which are affordable, across 105 storeys. Fulton & Fifth stands as a clear testament to the benefits of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC): certainty in cost, programme, and quality, all underpinned by a strong commitment to safety and sustainability.

Over 17,500 hybrid structural components were used to assemble the towers in just 23 months. Manufactured by 11 supply chain specialists across 12 factories in 4 countries, each component was precision-engineered offsite using advanced automation and robotics. Components arrived on site complete with integrated façades, windows, M&E elements, balcony connections and more—ready for immediate installation.

Thanks to a repeatable ‘Kit of Parts’, offsite integration, and standardised construction methodology, PCE’s systemised DfMA delivery minimised site activity, mitigated risk, and increased predictability.  The onsite installation phase saw PCE manage programme, coordination, logistics, crane planning, temporary works, and finishing. With construction expertise and end-to-end control, just 13 multi-skilled PCE operatives were needed per block, achieving a 10-day cycle per level and installing up to 500 tonnes of hybrid structural components daily. This streamlined process dramatically reduced on-site activity, improving safety, predictability, quality, and compliance throughout delivery, whilst minimising noise, traffic, and disruption to the local area.

Designed for Sustainability

The hyTower® system also enabled significant carbon savings. Fulton & Fifth was delivered in line with LETI 2020 targets, achieving 239kgCO2/m². Sustainable design choices included:

• Eliminating plasterboard in cores and stairwells (saving 75 tonnes of embedded carbon),
• Up to 50% cement replacement in concrete, and 100% recycled steel reinforcement,
• A high level of waste reduction.

Accelerated Fit-Out and Added Value

A major advantage of the hyTower® system is the early access it provides to follow-on trades. With no back-propping, weatherproofing through integrated façades, and precast cores offering safe access from the outset, fit-out work could begin just two levels below the active assembly level.

PCE’s scope also included lifting and placement of prefabricated bathroom pods, utility cupboards, and alignment with full M&E coordination. This allowed for earlier occupation of completed blocks—even while other towers were still under construction—demonstrating the high level of control and programme certainty made possible by our systemised offsite approach.

Digital Control and Compliance

Crucial to residential delivery under the Building Safety Act Gateways, PCE used an interactive 3D digital twin to track every component through a real-time 14-stage status process, complete with QA and engineering insight. This centralised, transparent system ensured full traceability, safety compliance, and alignment with the Golden Thread—underpinning a more accountable and assured delivery.

Fulton & Fifth proves what’s possible when design, manufacture, and assembly are seamlessly connected.
