Initially the works involved undertaking the fire safety improvement works to two student accommodation blocks, with the contract then being increased to include the refurbishment of 405 studios and the formation of communal amenity areas comprising of a gym, shared dining areas, cinema room and study areas. 

The initial fire safety works included the removal of the existing cladding and replacement with new non-combustible cladding and remedial works to the existing roofs. For the internal fire safety works we installed a range of fire stopping to studio party walls, existing services, and penetrations, which in a number of places required partitions to be removed and reinstated. 

The studio refurbishment works comprised of stripping out all the existing fixtures, fittings and furnishings and replacing with new, enhancing the plumbing supplies to the en-suites and kitchenettes and the installation of a sprinkler system.
