Timescale

The project had a firm, fixed, completion date of 2 weeks start to finish and sign-off. The project was completed fully prior to this deadline, with all objectives met including additional works agreed during the installation.

Points of note

• LED lighting installed throughout to minimize running costs with best possible light output levels. These lights also have a very long life expectancy so there will be minimal maintenance costs for the 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.
• LED surface-mounted strip lighting on first floor storage/racking area for improved light outputs.
• 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, and positioning of feeds required; fitting in time for their installation and commissioning.
• Liaison with fire alarm and security alarm installers for positioning and amount of required feed, and installation.
