As a leading engineering consultancy, our team was engaged to provide comprehensive engineering services for the major refurbishment and extension of a large residential property located in central London. The project involved the construction of a large basement, which required significant temporary works details, and the extension of the existing building to provide additional living space.
One of the main engineering inputs was the two-storey basement under the lower ground floor, which required meticulous planning and coordination to ensure that the excavation and construction works were carried out safely and effectively. Our team worked closely with the architectural and construction teams to optimize the design and ensure that the temporary works were utilised as part of the final structural solution where possible. This helped to minimise the number of temporary works required and reduced the overall cost of the project.
The project also involved the upgrading of the existing building’s structure and services, including the electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. Our engineers carried out detailed analysis and design calculations to ensure that the upgraded systems met the client’s requirements and that the building would be safe, functional, and energy-efficient.
Throughout the project, our team collaborated closely with the other professionals involved to ensure that the project was delivered on time and to the satisfaction of the client. As a result of our efforts, the refurbished and extended property provides a spacious, modern, and comfortable living space that meets the needs of the client and is in keeping with the character of the surrounding area.
