What the job involves
The building started life as a workshop, so turning it into a working medical equipment facility means changing most of the internal layout. New partition walls divide the floor, the existing mezzanine is altered to suit the new use, and separate wet and dry rooms are built around how the client’s equipment has to be handled. The front of the building becomes a reception area and meeting room, with accessible bathrooms and a kitchenette.
The mezzanine is altered rather than replaced, so the existing structure sets the layout below.
The wet and dry rooms follow how the equipment is handled, not a standard floor plan.
Reception and meeting space now sit where the workshop floor was.
Working to a tight programme
The timeframe is tight and the scope has moved as the job has gone on, which is normal on a conversion where the existing building sets some of the constraints. Clearcut is managing the construction and coordinating the specialist trades alongside the architectural requirements.
On a conversion, what you find in the existing building changes what the drawings can do.
Specialist trades have to be sequenced around each other, not queued one behind the next.
Scope changes are priced and programmed as they come up, not left to the end.
