Project details
Form of Contract: NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract April 2013
Procurement Type: 2 Stage
Contract Period: 97 weeks
Size: 55,000 sqft
The project comprised of the refurbishment and upgrade of our client’s estate under their ‘Restoration and Renewal Programme’. The project endeavoured to deliver maximum flexibility and usability for a design life of 15 years, achieving BREEAM Excellent.
The project included CAT B fit out of offices, a new reception, new meeting rooms and collaboration spaces. Our scope of works also included structural alterations, window replacements and external works and security enhancements of 55,000 sq ft over 9 floors including roof and terraces in a 1920’s building.
The Challenge
Multiple stakeholder engagement
The scope included the decant of large numbers of staff to allow 750 new staff to occupy their new space.
Engaging with government recommended contractors
We had to liaise with government recommended subcontractors with their own works packages within the building.
Delivering in a Global Pandemic
The PCSA and part of the construction period spanned the unprecedented Covid-19 Global Pandemic.
Challenging logistics
The project was located in central London, with the building located on a busy road. The building was occupied for the duration of the works.
Base build fit out
It became clear the CAT A wasn’t fit for purpose; extensive reparations were required before the CAT B could begin.
