Procurement
Design & build contractor
We were appointed by our client, ETRIM Ltd to assist with their design work in relation to Unit 1 Century Park in Altrincham. Our client acquired a new office building which occupies just over 6,000 Sqft of Class E office space. Incorporated in 2012, ETRIM Ltd provide general construction works inclusive of office fit out works across the county. They contacted us after finding our details on Trafford Council’s accredited designers list.
The brief
Unit 1 on Century Park is one of a host of medium size office blocks that occupy the business park, which sits within Broadhead and just outside of Altrincham. Constructed from a steel frame structure clad in buff brickwork and glazed bands, these units are versatile properties that can be used as open plan offices or can easily be sub divided into smaller office suites as part of an office fit out. Our client’s goal was to secure the entire first floor, which encompassed an amenity block, general office spaces, and an open-plan office layout. To fulfill this requirement, we were entrusted with the task of conducting a comprehensive measured survey of both the first floor and the ground floor entrance areas. This meticulous survey allowed us to produce precise floor plans and the foundations for further space planning for the office fit out.
The design
We produced detailed floor plans that could be used for tender purposes and for issuing to building control as part of a formal building control application. The main objective in this process was to conform to current fire regulations, in relation to separation and escape distances within the building. It was essential to provide a safe route of escape in the event of a fire. We also provided additional amenity space inclusive of WC’s facilities, designated shower facilities and staff kitchen/canteen areas.
Building regulations/ tender
Our drawings were developed so that the full scope of internal works could be sent out to tender, as well as providing a set of detailed information that could be issued to building control as part of a formal building regulations application relative to the internal fit out works.
Works started on site in June 2021 and were completed by August 2021.
