Intrado were appointed as Engineers for the residential development of the government and council-funded development which is a purpose-built accommodation in Llanharry to support adults with high functioning autism. The one-story property was designed with accessibility as the main priority, to ensure its suitability for adults with moderate and severe learning difficulties.
