Timescale

There was a firm fixed completion date of 4 weeks start to finish and signing off. The project was completed fully within this timescale, with all objectives met, including additional works agreed during the installation.

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
• An emergency lighting system was installed to give best possible light levels during power failure
• Liaison with main client 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 building contractors to ensure all wiring was ahead of schedule and in place for new ceiling battening and plaster boarding so as to not hold up any other trades
• Liaison with Service/Food Counter company for sizing and positioning of required feeds; with fitting in time for installation and commissioning
