Timescale

This Project had a firm fixed completion date of 3 days:

• 1 day strip-out/wait for builders to extend existing kitchen
• 1 day installing new circuits cables and socket boxes
• 1 day connecting and installing new lights and sockets, and signing-off

The project was completed fully with all objectives met including additional works agreed during the installation, prior to this deadline.

Points of note

• LED lighting was installed throughout to minimise running costs with best possible light output levels. These lights have a very long life expectancy so there are minimal maintenance costs for the duration of the fittings life
• LED fire-rated down lights were installed to the new MF suspended plasterboard ceiling. These lights had to be fire-rated to give the ceiling a full fire rating to comply with building regulations
• Liaison with client/house owner and builder to ensure installation was on schedule and budget due to additional works required
• Liaison with client to determine where items to be installed so as they can get best use from them
• Liaison with building contractors to ensure all wiring was ahead of schedule and in place for new ceiling battening and plaster boarding to not hold up any other trades
