Project Overview
Located in Wakefield, this large-scale office renovation involved the refurbishment of an outdated commercial workspace.
Presence & Co. were appointed to improve the condition, functionality and safety of the premises through a comprehensive programme of internal works and fire safety improvements.
The project included new flooring throughout the building, the installation of stud internal walls and partitions, and essential works following a failed fire risk assessment.
Through careful planning and coordination, the renovation delivered a modernised workspace that addressed key safety concerns and met the client’s expectations.
Our Role
Presence & Co. managed and delivered the renovation, overseeing the works from start to finish. Our responsibilities included:
- Complete internal office renovation.
- Installation of new flooring throughout the premises.
- Installation of new walls and internal partitions.
- Significant fire safety improvements throughout the building.
- Coordination of trades, contractors and project scheduling.
- Oversight of internal upgrades and improvements.
- Quality control throughout the project.
- Final finishing works and project completion.
Given the scale of the renovation, effective project management and communication were essential to coordinating the various elements of the project and delivering a consistent, high-quality finish while addressing the building’s fire safety requirements.
The Challenge
The size and condition of the existing premises presented several challenges, making this a significant commercial renovation project.
- Fire safety compliance: The building had previously failed its fire risk assessment, meaning works were required to address the identified issues and meet the applicable fire safety requirements.
- Coordination of multiple workstreams: Fire safety improvements needed to be carefully managed alongside the wider renovation, including new flooring, internal partitions and other upgrades.
- Maintaining quality throughout: Careful planning and oversight were essential to ensure the works were coordinated effectively and completed to a high standard.
The Result
The project transformed the building into a modern, practical office space for Clegg Gifford. The refurbishment improved the overall condition of the premises, creating a more professional environment for staff while ensuring the required fire safety works were completed. The result is a safer, more functional workspace that is ready for everyday use.
