Full height glazing and sliding doors have been delivered to the rooftops of London as the final piece of the puzzle comes together to make the penthouse flat at Hallam Street watertight. The views are spectacular – both to and from the building.
CoCHC had a busy first day…Mark Jones of NHS Coventry confirmed that patients were turning up in droves to sign up with the GPs that have relocated to the centre. The building is now fully operational following a sucessful handover last year – on time & on budget!
Programme week 22 of 37 at Hallam Street and the light is beginning to appear at the end of the tunnel. Floor finishes are down, the stair carcass is constructed and kitchens are starting to go into the large openplan living space of our largest maisonette. The dryest November on record lends the roofing contrators a hand and we are finally watertight up to 6th floor after a nailbiting week of tarpaulins and crossed fingers!
The focus on site has shifted inside. Galliford Try’s decorators are now starting to paint the feature bands of colour that will form the base for departmental signage. 500mm high polyester powder coated alumiunium letters placed at high level on the bold painted bands, will allow patients to locate department entrances across large waiting spaces.
