Office refurbishment, London SW1

Client

Quintain / WELPUT, c/o Savills

Property description

65,000 sq ft office building

Background

The building was undergoing a comprehensive program of refurbishment works; there was a period of months between the internal strip out completing and the principal contractor starting on site, when the building remained vacant and required 24 hour protection.

Brief

Belstone was instructed at very short notice due to the particular circumstances to provide a 24 hour manned guarding team, in order to manage access control through this interim period and also ensure that access could be retained for UK Power Network to service their sub-station on site.

Outcome

The building was taken over on Christmas Eve and an effective security regime put immediately in place; this enabled a timely handover some months later to the principal contractor and thereby ensured that the initial planned development programme could be adhered to.
