Industry: Retail

Client: BKB
Project name: Office refit
Industry: Retail
Location: York House, Wembley
Value: £60K
We created this office space for BKB Chartered Accountants from the
bare shell of the 6th floor of York House.
General staff areas were left open plan, partners' offices were double
glazed partitions with integral blinds, a suspended ceiling with new
lighting was erected over the entire office area.
Air conditioning is a requirement in any modern office, however we
faced some difficulties here being in the middle of the building with
no clear way to the roof or ground floor for the external components.
The bespoke boardroom wall panels house a plasma TV and a secret door
to a small partitioned room created to house the air conditioning condensers.
In order to stop the condensers overheating we removed a window and
installed a louvre in its place.
The bow fronted reception counter was built in our worktop with contrasting
beech veneer and solid beech uprights and topped with blue corian.
The entire project took 4 weeks to complete. All of BKB's criteria
were met or exceeded giving them everything they require on one floor
and a glorious view of Wembley Stadium.
Client: Primrose
Gourmet
Project name: Market Restaurant
Industry: Retail
Location: Camden, London NW1
Value: £50K
We were contacted by Primrose Gourmet after they had seen some of the
other restaurants we have worked on. Once they had satisfied themselves
that they would be getting value for money and a fast efficient service
we went to work.
The shop had been a Chinese restaurant but under our careful management,
we removed and replaced the existing ceilings, ground floor, stripped
off old plaster, sand blasted the brickwork, manufactured counters,
tables, provided new power and lighting, and seating to fit their look.
The tables have oak legs and zinc wrapped tops, the new flooring is
oak, oiled to give a unique patina.
The counter was built in our workshop to house all the items a busy
restaurant needs but it was finished on site with 1300 6' x 1' matt
black tiles and an oak top.
The work took 6 weeks and the Market opened on 5 November 2007 and
shows just what can be achieved with a small budget and a dedicated
team.
Client: Newham
Primary Care Trust
Project name: East Ham Memorial Hospital
Lift
Industry: Commercial
Location: East Ham Memorial Hospital
Value: £65K
In September 2006 we started the first of 3 projects for Newham Primary
Care Trust.
This project involved the construction of a traditionally –built
external lift shaft complete with access arrangements to suit disabled
employees.
Openings into the existing structure were created at the required floor
levels making many structural alterations necessary.
In order to maintain a uniform appearance, materials sympathetic to
the existing structure were chosen. Second-hand stock bricks, sash
windows made to match the original, a lead roof to cap the shaft.
During the course of the construction of the lift shaft, it became
obvious that the existing building needed some care and attention.
The ground floor was propped on steel beams and underpinned whilst
new brickwork was introduced to the ground and first floor external
walls.
Although this was a fairly simple project, conditions were not ideal
and a fair amount of common sense and old-fashioned hard work helped
us to achieve our goal and be awarded 2 additional projects.
The 2 remaining projects for Newham Primary Care Trust started in late
2006 and early 2007. The refurbishment of the upper floors to East
Ham Memorial Hospital and a fit out for some new offices on a different
site.

with many products being manufactured in-house. Twelve months after
completion and we revisited the site with the client to achieve defects
sign off and only needed to change one ceiling tile.

Client: South
London & Maudsley Mental Health NHS Trust
Project name: PIC Unit Extensions
Industry: Commercial
Location: Bethlam
Hospital, Beckenham
Value: £150K
During the autumn of 2006 and winter of 2007 we built, from the ground
up, two single storey extensions on the side of an occupied mental
health ward. One extension was to the restaurant and one was to hold
patients in a safe environmental whilst under observation.
The existing building was built in the 1920s and as well as having
to knock through into occupied wards the additional hazard of asbestos
which was found on the knock throughs had to be dealt with.
Despite the torrential rain and extremely difficult site conditions,
both extensions were finished in the 16 weeks allocated for these.
Client:South London & Maudsley Mental Health Trust
Project Name: 136 Unit
Industry: Commercial
Location: Maudsley Hospital, Camberwell

This two
storey building was built new during the autumn/winter of 2005/2006.
This is a two storey building with the roof space used as a plant room
whilst the ground floor is built to house people for observation.
All aspects of this building had to match the existing structure – bricks,
stone cills, roof tiles, however the fixtures and fittings are all
bespoke:
Prison-issue

Corian© lined
walls
Double
glazed Marguard windows with integral (electronic) blinds
Extra

The site
for this new build is within the secure grounds of the hospital and
our site had to be extra secure. Despite offers of "help" we
finished on time and within budget.

Project Name: Health Club Refurbishment
Industry: Leisure

Installation
included:
Bespoke
reception counter
Decoration
Floor
Coverings
Ceilings
Lighting
Partitioning
We successfully developed and installed bespoke reception counters, which were intricate structures with a unique design. Combining multiple materials, including a stainless steel wave, granite worktop and integrated refrigeration cabinet, these counters were a triumph in impactful branding coupled with functional design which enabled limited resource to multi-task within a defined area.
Our refurbishments also reflected the bold branding including deployment of a specially created “Hi-Life Blue”. We ensured quality of decoration by applying additional coats of paint in order to achieve and maintain the specified shades of colour.
As clubs
were operational during refits, special care was needed and our dedication
to health and safety ensured that clients were protected from the
works.
An aggressive marketing strategy for newly re-branded clubs with associated
local PR required strict adherence to deadlines which was achieved
by our hands-on, flexible project management.

We had worked for Franke Coffee's managing director in the past when

Cafe
Industry: Retail
Location: Swindon

The owners of the Italian Cafe were so impressed with the speed of
our Fine Burger fit out that they entrusted us to fit out their first
retail outlet.
Starting from an empty shell we installed two different forms of suspended
ceiling, dividing stud walls, bespoke stainless steel catering worktops,
counters and fridges.
The display counters and matching wall panelling were made in our workshop,
giving us the opportunity to show how it is possible to effectively
combine different materials.
The project took one month to complete in its entirety including the
manufacture of the bespoke items.

Client: The
Clapham North
Project
name: Bar/restaurant finishes
Industry: Retail
Location: 409
Clapham North Road, London
Completion
date: October 2006
Value: £45K
Instructed to provide the finishing touches to the premises after a recent refit gave us the opportunity to express our artistic side.
Installation included:
Huge
glazier white Corian bar
Unusual
and visually-striking wavey banquette seating and tables to match
Made-to-measure
banquette seating to make use of the many unused areas within the
building
Given just the weekend to achieve the makeover, Construction & Shopfitting's team really excelled themselves. All previously measured and seating was brought to site and fitted first time, the pure white corian bar, due to its size, was delivered in sections and fitted and finished on site, something a lot of contractors would shy away from.
The innovative black American walnut tables were a complete contrast to the bar and really finished it all perfectly.
