About the project

Located in Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, Vascroft successfully completed this project in 2022. The scope involved constructing a one-storey building to house a Mandir (Hindu Temple) with an ancillary dining hall, commercial kitchen, meeting rooms, classrooms, priest quarters, and a community hall. The building façade was clad with intricate artisan detailing imported from Gujarat, India, and installed in situ to celebrate cultural heritage.

Embracing a green energy ethos, the design incorporated solar panels and a range of sustainable M&E systems. Soft and hard landscaping works were completed to create an aura of peace and tranquillity throughout the temple grounds.

We are very close to completing two major community projects in Birmingham and Manchester. Both projects rely on the support and goodwill of devotees, well-wishers, and volunteers.

But the mammoth task of delivering the vision falls upon a trusted Contractor who brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the project, whilst being mindful of the challenges every community project face, this is where Vascroft have proven to be a true partner in the journey of our projects. With their vast experience spanning decades in constructing places of worship and community complexes, the team have helped shaped our vision through valued engineering and innovation, ensuring the Community’s needs are always exceeded.

The Vascroft ethos to build communities not just buildings, is very much evident in how they approach, manage, and execute such projects.

Each member of the Vascroft team that works on our project, does so with passion, dedication, and sheer hard work not only to simply deliver ‘a good project’ but to ensure the best facilities are provided so that Communities can thrive for generations to come.
