Farm Street, Mayfair

Farm Street, Mayfair

Well its taken two years but production is finally due to start on Farm Street, Mayfair. 

Initially we priced a number of companies in response to a tender (2016?!?!?!) where Cove Red was specified. The contract was one by Chase Construction and we started to work with them on the drawings. 

The tender pricing was based on BoQs supplied but it quickly became apparent once the CAD drawings were received that there were certain items within the build that would benefit from more of a practical approach and value engineering to provide a more robust solution for the end user. Using the architect’s initial CAD drawing’s we put forward a number of solutions together with the cost implications allowing the client to make an informed decision. 

We have now signed off on copings, cladding and window surrounds using Cove Red sandstone and a dark grey granite plinth from China. 

I’ll update the blog as soon as the build starts.
