• Joinery
• Resin flooring
• Venetian plastering
• 18 No. New showers and doors
• 380m2 of tiling
• New stainless-steel kitchen installs
• Bespoke furniture manufacture and install

Key issues, managed by Recom Solutions:

• Programme – Project was delivered in only 10 weeks from Recom Solutions receiving the unit. A day to day programme was delivered from the off set, being stringently followed and coordinated on a daily basis with all sub-contractors.
• Pre-construction lead times were secured before commencement to ensure materials were delivered on programme ready for install.
• 18,000 man hours were completed during the build to ensure this was completed on time in some cases working 7 days a week and double shift to complete in the time frame.
• Stakeholder Liaison – Recom Solutions had early engagement with the landlord Project Management company that look after the live retail centre. Pre-construction and weekly meetings were held with them to ensure smooth construction from start to finish. Just in time deliveries to 1hour slots were managed throughout the build, with permits being required for each delivery to allow access into Canary Wharf.
• Full commissioning certification was handed to the landlord through their own Building Control company to verify the Build on completion.
