Trident acted as Project Managers and Contract Administrators on the £800,000 refurbishment of the King’s Theatre in Glasgow — a Grade A listed building of exceptional architectural and cultural significance.
As one of Scotland’s most treasured historic venues, the King’s Theatre required a carefully considered approach that balanced modern performance requirements with the preservation of its historic fabric. The programme of works focused primarily on essential fabric repairs, including lead repairs, extensive stone repairs, and comprehensive window refurbishment to protect and restore the building envelope.
Acting in the dual role of Project Manager and Contract Administrator, Trident led the project from inception through to completion, managing stakeholder engagement, and ensuring full compliance with listed building and conservation requirements. Particular care was taken to ensure that traditional materials and conservation-led techniques were employed throughout, safeguarding the building’s original architectural features while enhancing its durability and performance.
Through robust cost control, programme management, and diligent contract administration, Trident successfully delivered a sensitive refurbishment that preserves the integrity of this iconic Grade A listed theatre, securing its long-term future while respecting its significant heritage value.
