Our Experience

The Alcema team have been involved in numerous projects ranging up to £30 million in value. Regardless of size and scope, we are dedicated to deliver every build to exceptional standard.

MARKS AND SPENCER

The team have successfully completed several projects for Marks and Spencer and they were assigned the complete refurbishment of The Pantheon, one of Marks and Spencer’s flagship stores located on Oxford Street, London.

Dating back to the 1930’s, the building presented several legacy issues, including asbestos-containing materials. Through exemplary communication with the store team, we were able to phase the required works whilst causing minimal disruption to staff and customers.

THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL ARBORETUM

The Arboretum in Alrewas is a British site of national remembrance. The visitor centre was expanded to accommodate a higher volume of visitors – up to 500,000 more. The project involved the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new hybrid steel and glued laminated (glulam) beams structure.

Throughout the works, the site remained live with no disruptions to the daily service.

HOTEL INDIGO

The project involved refurbishing all the existing rooms of this 16th century, Grade II listed property. This included stripping back the historic Tudor building to its timber frames in order to protect and preserve it for posterity. The logistics of the project were extremely challenging on all sides and were coupled with the application of heritage restoration requirements.
