Points of note

• LED lighting installed throughout to minimise running costs with best possible light output levels. These lights also have a very long life expectancy so minimal maintenance costs for duration of the fittings life.
• LED panels installed into new suspended ceiling. These lights had to have fire rated hoods fitted to give the ceiling a full fire rating for building regulations.
• Full emergency lighting system installed to give best possible light levels during power failure.
• Liaison with main project management team to make sure installation was on schedule and budget due to additional works required.
• Liaison with main client, where items to be installed so as they can get best use from them.
• Liaison with main partitioning contractors to make sure all wiring was ahead of schedule for build to not hold up any other trades.
• Liaison with Air conditioning installers for sizing/quantities/positioning of feeds they required; fitting in time for them to do their installation and commissioning.
• Liaison with fire alarm and security alarm installers for positions and amount of feeds they required and installation.
