Aldermanbury Square
Cat-A fit-out across three floors of a Grade A office building, zero impact to neighbouring tenants throughout a 9-week programme.
Cat-A in a working building.
Aldermanbury Square is a working Grade A office, the brief was a Cat-A fit-out on three floors without disturbing the active tenants on the floors above and below. Every drop, every weekend possession, and every alarm isolation had to be pre-agreed and signed off.
We staged the work in three two-week sprints with a quiet weekend between each. Riser access was booked via the building manager; each weekend handed back to commercial occupation by Sunday afternoon.
Quick Overview
Cat-A power & lighting
New small-power and LED lighting across 1,400m² of office floor.
Fire alarm integration
New devices integrated into the building's existing addressable loop without isolation overruns.
Tested weekend possessions
Each weekend handed back to commercial use by 5pm Sunday.
O&M handed over at PC
Full O&M manual delivered the same day as practical completion.
Two of our disciplines, one site.
Fire Safety Servicing & Maintenance
Scheduled servicing of existing fire alarm and electrical systems, with reactive cover.
Fault Finding & Diagnostics for Fire & Life Safety Systems
Diagnostic call-outs on inherited or misbehaving systems. We find it and fix it.
Three floors, nine weeks, never an isolation that overran. That's the gold standard for a live building.
