Project Management and Contract Administration Projects
Some examples of our recent experience in this sector:
Cat A and B Fit out
First Floor Two Express, Manchester
A scheme for the Cat A fit out of the first floor and reception were developed which included the incorporation of three large lightwells to increase floor area. As part of these works a number of fire separation issues had to be addressed. Just as works were about to commence CTI Digital were signed as a tenant for the space and there full fit out requirements were incorporated resulting in significant changes to the original scheme. The structure of the lightwells were kept and used as meeting rooms and kitchen accommodation. The main feature of the scheme is the exposed services and structure along with a new air conditioning system

One Express, George Leigh Street, Manchester
This Grade II * listed building had originally been the occupied by the Daily Express as a printing works. Many modifications have been made to the building over the years including a number of extensions and modifications to the internal areas. The office space gave poor utilization of floor space and was generally dated. Working in conjunction with Stephenson Studio an scheme for refurbishment of the office space was developed to improve the overall floor area as well as creating a modern office space with exposed services and full air conditioning. All of this had to be approved by the planners and conservation officer who were keen to see some of the buildings history exposed by removal of previous fit out work. The client has allowed for conversion of parts of the building to provide a gym and café for office users and the general public.
