Work included external repairs, drainage works, structural support to the external stairs, internal lath and plaster repairs to ceilings and walls, and decorations.
• Working within tight budget controls meant no room for variations. Financial contract performance was closely monitored.
• Client view: “Simon is a gem with great attention to detail….Subcontractors were good and he wrangled them into order!” Architect & Estates Manager.
• As a result of successful performance, we were asked to price further projects for other Birkbeck University sites, and subsequently gained a place on their framework.
The team was very responsive throughout. They understood the challenges we faced working in a ‘live’ environment and assumed responsibility for much of the day-to-day management of the project, from the scheduling through to workforce inductions. Up to a third of all of the work required had to be completed outside of normal office hours and they have been very supportive throughout.
