Trident prepared a terminal schedule of dilapidations, relating to a large industrial unit with two storey office accommodation. Successful negotiations resulted in a financial settlement to the client’s satisfaction.

Trident was then instructed to act as contract administrators and principal designers, to specify and tender a full-scale refurbishment, managing all works on site.

The project involved; applying a protective coating to the main asbestos roof, over-cladding a further profiled metal roof, rendering of the brick built office elevations, redecoration of the external cladding and windows, boundary fencing, new surfacing to the car park, internal demolition, replacement of the existing lighting with LED throughout and internal refurbishment, including floor coverings, suspended ceilings and full redecoration.

The project was completed with variations to the work scope following input form the letting agents, the discovery of concealed asbestos and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, with early interest from several potential tenants.
