The main contractors for a substantial greenhouse refurbishment
The Challenge
In appointing Sturrocks to act as Main Contractor on the complete refurbishment of a large listed Victorian greenhouse, there were two factors of overriding importance to our Nursery Owner client – first, the need to re-open the greenhouse for business on a certain date and, secondly, getting the job done on a fixed budget including all sub-contractor fees.
And the challenges posed by this particular contract didn’t stop there...
The Job
This type of job was tailor-made for Sturrocks, harnessing time-served skills to the task of removing all defective timber components and replacing them with newly manufactured units that had to blend in perfectly with what remained of the original listed construction. At the same time, we also had the responsibility of appointing other trades such as glaziers, plumbers and painters and to co-ordinate their work in the most efficient and economic way to satisfy all the client’s pre-conditions on time and money.
The Result
Budget met, timescale met – and a very happy client who re-opened for business bang on schedule.
“I was very impressed with the high standard of workmanship and the way Sturrocks managed every aspect of the refurbishment to keep the work on track. Well done!”
