A project was initiated to replace the flooring and redecorate a 16-storey student accommodation block in London. The aim was to enhance the living environment for students while ensuring minimal disruption to their daily activities.
The project was carried out in a live occupied building, which presented unique challenges. Close collaboration with the building managers was essential to organise logistics, including scheduling work during off-peak hours and coordinating access to different floors. This careful planning allowed for the efficient movement of materials and minimised inconvenience to residents.
The flooring replacement involved high-quality, durable materials suited for high-traffic areas, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. Simultaneously, the redecoration included refreshing common areas and corridors, creating a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere for the students.
Despite the complexities of working in an active student accommodation environment, the project was delivered on time and within budget. Effective communication and teamwork among contractors, building management, and residents facilitated a smooth process.
The successful completion of this project not only improved the aesthetics and functionality of the accommodation block but also contributed to a positive living experience for students, fostering a sense of community and pride in their home.
