This challenging refurbishment project comprised of a full Electrical and Mechanical fit-out transforming the old courthouse and cells into a stunning new interior for CoDE Pod Hostels in Parliament Square, Edinburgh Old Town.
Some challenges we encountered on this project were:
The clients brief was simple, he needed the work to be completed and the hotel fully operational in time for the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The logistical challenges coupled with the quirky nature of the building and the clients desire to create a unique brand identity all within budget and programme were just some of the hurdles the construction team needed to overcome.
Significant design and value engineering were required throughout the duration of the project. This was carried out whilst remaining true to the original design brief ensuring quality and aesthetics were retained at every step.
We worked collaboratively with the principal contractor and design team to highlight items that became visible through construction. This approach enabled us to provide engineering solutions and maintain momentum throughout the project.
