Project Details
Following a full strip out, we reconfigured the ground floor space to provide a new reception area, a DDA-compliant WC, a teapoint and two meeting rooms with a moveable partition wall between.
Our reconfiguration of the first floor provided an open plan office area, enclosed photocopier area, a private office, a teapoint and two unisex WC compartments.
And on the second floor we remodelled the space to create an open plan office area, unisex WCs plus shower, a private office and a small meeting room.
Creating a new DDA-compliant access from vehicular archway included adjustment to existing paving/roadway levels.
We installed mechanical ventilation to whole of ground floor and first/second floor lavatories and kitchen.
We stripped out all heating pipework back to risers and ran new copper heating pipework to serve the radiators and additionally stripped out and renewed all wired services.
And we finished up with fire compartmentation works and a spring clean of the basement.
Our precise scheduling of works minimised disruption, particularly around noise, to the tenants and their neighbours and satisfied our client’s requirements.
