PRIVATE CLIENT

Design and construction of the refurbishment of all lobbies and corridors at Vida House, a residential building in London, South of the River Thames.

The five storey building was originally constructed in 2011 and comprises of 138nr apartments which total approximately 7,500m2, plus a basement car park. The project involved essential remedial works to fire compartments, fire stopping and fire doors to the communal areas and occupied apartments.

We reconfigured entrance lobbies and upgraded fire detection, the security provision and general decorations. Externally, we completed substantial remedial works to the external paving and planters to ensure the areas met health and safety standards. The cycle storage was also upgraded with additional security fencing.

Works included new aluminium entrance doors, a new internal parcel lobby aluminium doors, Amazon parcel locker installation, upgrade of security works, associated electrical installation and upgrade of fire detection. The project also included remedial works to compartment fire walls within communal areas and apartments and to fire doors and fires stopping to frames. A new SR2 rated security enclosure to cycle storage was installed as well as the completion of remedial works to external paving and planters, alterations to entrance gates and internal decorations to doors and frames.

This was a challenging project, carrying out essential works within occupied premises and with the added restrictions and complications due to works being carried out in the early stage of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The project was completed within the agreed time scales and to the budget constraints.
