This fast track project evolved from completing shell and core refurbishment for a prospective tenant into a fully defined serviced office space. Mechanical and electrical packages drove the programme and formed the critical path which required careful sequencing due to the large number of trades operating in the building at the same time. Highly specified WCs, shower and kitchen facilities alongside new parking and bike storage arrangements have helped to transform existing redundant spaces into a modern office development.
