Refurbishment of Precision Engineering Facility

A new start for Aerocomponents.

With a recent change of ownership, Precision Engineers Aerocomponents were on a mission to regenerate the business, including a complete refurbishment of their premises.

The interior of the building housed their factory, office and welfare spaces which had barely been improved since the 1980s. This was affecting client perception and staff morale and needed to align with the forward-looking image and requirements of the company.

Back to basics.

We were selected as Aerocomponents’ partner for the project, based on expertise, experience and integrity which quickly became evident to the decision makers.

The process began with an in-depth analysis of the current and future requirements of the company, alongside surveys of the building interior, which came together in our generation of concept designs and budgets. From this base, we collaborated to develop a detailed design scheme and comprehensive specification.

From the rough to the smooth.

Within this project, our scope of work was very varied and wide ranging. It included heavier items of work such as adjusting steelwork on an existing mezzanine, creating new stairs and replacing industrial doors through to refined touches such bespoke feature signage, laboratory-grade spaces and furniture.

The co-ordination of this breadth of scope at both design and construction stage allowed our abilities to shine.

Precision fulfilment.

Aerocomponents’ operations needed to continue to run at full capacity throughout the works. Through careful planning, positive working relationships and detailed collaboration, the project was achieved on programme and without significant disruption to the client’s productivity. 

This involved numerous phases of work, with relocations of equipment between these. Mid-project changes to the client’s brief were accommodated without significant impact to cost or programme.

The results.

The feedback from Aerocomponents and their stakeholders has been excellent. See the achievements and hear the comments from Simon Rose, MD, on the video link below.
