Commercial Build

24 Feb 2019
Evesham

Recommended by a local architect, Root Construction were appointed to construct a portal framed, timber clad commercial unit/garage intended to house old, prestigous cars. The groundworks were interesting due to the requirement to excavate foundations to a depth of 3m. A block and beam floor was chosen to avoid any issues with ground heave as wet clay was prominent in the area.

This project was carried out concurrently with the re-roofing and structural repair works of the existing neighbouring barn. All the works were completed to budget but we overshot the original scheduled completion date by a couple of weeks du to the numerous additional works that were added to our remit such as the construction of a new concrete road.

Schmidt - shop fit-out

24 Feb 2019

Initially appointed to remove suspended ceiling grid left after previous tenant occupancy, after meeting us the client asked us if we would complete more and more of their shop fit-out project. Having been let down by the original contractor, the client finally entered into contract with us to complete the fit-out of the complete show room. This involved laying new porcelean tiles, installing a new suspended ceiling, construction of walls, installation of electrics, networks, plumbing, heating and ventilation. The project was a large one to undertake with little notice and with Christmas falling in the middle of programme but we completed it within budget and within the allocated time period.

Having had such success with this shop fit-out the main company have asked us to be their UK contractor for all installations within the UK, the next one being in Milton Keynes.

House Extension & Loft Conversion

24 Feb 2019

This was a large residential extension and loft conversion. With minimal access our task involved building a single storey extension to the rear of the property, removal of an existing first floor external wall and rebuilding in another location, and a complete loft conversion. Works were carried out under the appointment of a Contract Administrator with the client maintaining residence using a JCT Minor Works Contract.
Nearby trees added to the complexity of this job due to additional dig depth and clayshield requirements. We also came across asbestos roof tiles which is uncommon.
The project was sucessfully completed within timescales and budget set by the client.
