A project was initiated to refurbish the reception and communal areas of a student accommodation block, aiming to create a welcoming and functional environment for residents. The refurbishment included the installation of new reception desks, bespoke joinery, feature walls, a modern building entrance, and enhanced access control systems to improve security and accessibility.
Health and safety were prioritised throughout the project, especially since work was conducted in a live occupied building. A comprehensive risk assessment was performed, and strict safety protocols were implemented to safeguard both workers and students during the refurbishment process.
Liaising with building managers was essential in organising logistics, coordinating work schedules to minimise disruptions for residents. This collaboration ensured that construction activities were carried out efficiently while maintaining a safe environment for all.
The project was delivered on time and within budget, thanks to meticulous planning and effective communication among contractors, building management, and residents. The successful refurbishment has transformed the reception and communal areas into vibrant spaces featuring bespoke joinery and eye-catching feature walls, fostering community interaction and enhancing the overall living experience for students.
This initiative not only improved aesthetics and functionality but also reinforced a sense of security and belonging within the accommodation block, benefiting all residents.
