About the project

Completed in early 2020, Vascroft were proud to be part of this magnificent historic build of the new Haveli and its associated refurbishments works Located in Hertfordshire. This project involved the construction of a two-storey building to accommodate two community halls along with an ancillary dining hall, large commercial kitchens, meeting rooms, classrooms, creche facilities, as well as a new bakery, refurbishments of residents and priest quarters.

The building construction was traditional wood and bricks construction. Keeping the green energy ethos in mind, solar panels and various ethical M&E works were part of the design of this magnificent place of worship. A children’s soft play area was installed as well as the relocation and new construction of the Tulsi houses. Soft and hard landscaping works have created an aura of peace and tranquillity for the worshipers and visitors of this little haven in Hertfordshire.
