For this commercial project, Conamar stripped out and demolished the existing offices and meeting areas. We then created open plan smart working facilities with varying sizes and levels of meeting facilities, a community hub area, completely refurbished and extended WC facilities with a full replacement of all mechanical and electrical services within the 1000m2 works area. Being on the Second Floor of an occupied building the works were carefully planned to minimise disruption to the building users with measures such as external materials hoists and access gantries being utilised through a large amount of the works to minimise direct access into the building, noisy works being undertaken outside of normal operating hours and central plant and power shutdowns being carefully programmed to ensure that all services within the occupied areas were maintained at all times.

Conamar made extensive improvements to John Lewis' Oxford Street store. The second and third floors included a new ‘home’ concept at the centre of the store, spanning both storeys with a central architectural feature and a new point of focus for customers. For us, this project was all about programme. The client wanted to keep as much of the store open as possible and so we developed a plan that involved 8-9 phases per floor, closing off each area and working 24/7 to get the job done. Everything had to run to an incredibly strict schedule and with merchandise and visual display teams booked by John Lewis there could be no question of flexibility. The project all went to plan and the 32-week, £10 million project was delivered to time, budget and to our usual high standards.
