The project involved an evolving scope as the refurbishment progressed. Additional works were identified beyond the original schedule, including floor and joist works, further plastering, ceiling alterations and additional plumbing-related items.

The original documentation also identified the need for a structural engineer to determine whether walls affected by the proposed alterations were non-structural.

The works therefore required coordination between several trades, including building, plumbing, electrical and finishing works, while incorporating changes and additional requirements as the refurbishment developed.

RAM progressed a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and improvement works across the property. A February 2024 valuation records numerous core elements at 100% completion, including enabling works, internal wall alterations, door opening works, the combination boiler, plaster skimming, soundproofing, SVP alterations and the listed electrical installation works.
