Complete strip out back to shell with unit separation for retail use. The existing Electricity Meters were removed as part of the strip out. We excavated for and constructed a new lift pit within the existing lift shaft and constructed a new blockwork lift over run on the roof to suit the new clients good lift. The defective roof finishes were stripped and replaced using a new Bauder guaranteed system. Existing staircases were removed and floor openings infilled, with new openings formed (to suit new layouts) together with steel trimmers and associated fire cladding.
The two storey glass shop fronts and structural support column were removed using a “Spider Crane” from the piazza, outside normal working hours to mitigate the effect on trading and safeguard members of the public. Two hour M/F ceilings were installed in various areas and threaded rods installed in preparation for the clients fit out installation. Defective floor screeds were hacked up and cleared from site and repaired with sand/cement screed, all areas being finished with latex in preparation for the client’s tenant occupation.
