This project entailed a complete refurbishment of an old 1970s Royal Mail building, previously a Bovril factory. Working for Wates Construction we installed all the groundworks, pump chambers and drainage, structural alternations, multiple fair face finished stair cases, a 9 flight high triple reinforced concrete lift shaft, the rc walls and floors, and external hard and soft landscaping in a package worth £4 million.
The building was transformed to a light filled, modern redevelopment with double height spaces overlooking private courtyards and terraces on every floor with 152,000 sq. ft. of office space and a new 4,800 sq. ft. main entrance with cafes, shops and tenant lounges. The project received an ‘excellent’ BREAMM rating and is on the RIBA 2020 regional awards shortlist.
