Client Brief

Client was looking convert an existing first floor office space (~270 sqm) into labs and offices. The space was predominantly open-office, with a small kitchen and two small WCs. We were commissioned to do the work over a 3-month period with an initial budget agreed after developing the design and scope of works.

- New doors (some fire-rated) installed into new/existing walls.
- Modified kitchen area, and extended Corridor.

- The project was completed 1 month after originally planned, due to a supply issue with the AHU – something the whole industry was experiencing at that time, and still has due to component availability). The delay was made aware to the client promptly and impact mitigated as much as possible, with allowing the client to get various equipment and items brought into the space before PC, allowing them to be more ready for then the HVAC could be fired-up.
