Refurbishment and improvement works

What was our client looking for?

Brunelcare was looking to refurbish 48 single bedroom flats spilt between

4, three story blocks co-joined by the communal area and wardens’ residence lodge. The scheme valued at around £740,000 is the second consecutive refurbishment project we have undertaken for Brunelcare.

How did we help?

As the building was occupied throughout the 44 week construction period,

it was essential for our team to keep disruption to a minimum while ensuring

the works were progressing accordingly. To make sure this was achieved,

we worked closely with the scheme manager and a decant flat was

provided. This vacant facility enabled residents to use the facilities whilst the

works were being carried out. During this time we installed new kitchens,

level access wet rooms and carried out a complete electrical rewire and

replacement of hot water systems. Our team also provided new internal

fire doors and installed new flooring, with safety flooring being installed in

kitchens and bathrooms.

In addition to the reconfiguration of the communal area, quiet room and

warden office we also installed a new composite entrance porch to each

of the 4 blocks. This nifty addition is multi-functional, providing additional

security whilst acting as the recharge hub for electric scooters.

As part of the improvement works we also provided a thorough site waste

management plan along with asbestos alert and notification.

With close resident liaison we provided design and colour choices for

each and every resident. DDA enhancements where requested in order to

ensure the completed works met with the full agreement of each individual

resident. As always our teams are always on hand to provide a prompt

response to resident queries and keep them informed every step of the way.

The results

Once complete, we received letters of commendation from both the

client and consultants in recognition of our resident focus and our open

collaborative consultative approach.
