Challenges

The scope of this project involved extending the building one level and the renovation of the existing 4th floor while keeping the building operational for the sitting tenants. It also included a new lift installation replacement and shaft extension on a phased construction basis. A very complex and detailed services phasing plan needed to be drawn up to ensure their was a process in which the building could remain operational while the works were being carried out. We also completed as part of this project a full renovation of the ground floor foyer and reception area.
