We tendered for and were successful in carrying out the first phase of the Coroners Court project which involved the removal of the external fire escape, external refurbishment, internal alterations to facilitate a new platform lift and minor finishing works. This was completed in 2006 for a cost of £106,466.

Excellent communication and co-operation was key as the building remained operational throughout. Daily and weekly work schedules were drawn up with the client’s site representative. Noisy operations were carried out outside of court hours where possible, and where not possible, small hand tools were used so as to minimise noise.

The works comprised of:

• Internal alterations to include the stripping out of first floor WC and second floor bathroom and stripping out of dado trunking to ground floor office.
   
• External repairs and decorations, including the undertaking of specialist clean of all stone and brickwork surfaces following on from repair.
   
• Provide and lay thick dense bituminous macadam base course and 25mm thick dense bituminous macadam wearing course with 10mm nominal size aggregate.
   
• Take down and dismantle cast iron fire escape from west elevation and single leaf external door opening. Install new pre-treated S.W timber window.
   
• Supply and install 1 no. MC2000 platform lift.

Following on from the successful completion of this project we were asked to tender for Phase 2 of the works.
