Scope of Work

The refurbishment plan involved a complete overhaul of the office space to enhance functionality and aesthetics. RPS was tasked with delivering all joinery requirements, which included the installation of new entrances, doors, and partition walls. A critical aspect of the project was the large-scale manufacturing of suspended floor panels for the open-plan offices, tailored to meet the specific needs of the council.

In addition to joinery work, RPS efficiently managed the installation of a new data system, significantly boosting the council's connectivity. This project component was crucial in modernizing the office space to cater to evolving technological needs. Concurrently, RPS oversaw a comprehensive electrical system and lighting upgrade, enhancing the functionality and energy efficiency of the building.

The project also entailed extensive decoration work, including large-scale painting and flooring. This aspect of the refurbishment was critical in revitalising the space, contributing to a more vibrant and welcoming office environment.

This approach not only ensures the longevity of the refurbishment but also demonstrates RPS's commitment to sustainable and cost-effective solutions. By focusing on durability and efficiency, the project contributes positively to the community, providing a sustainable workplace for council staff.
