Case Study - Cast Stone Dressings - Westminster Apts

Description of Project:
The supply of over 600 window surrounds as well as band courses, copings and ashlar to change the buildings use from a hospital into apartments.
In the main, the building structure was being retained with the window surrounds being fixed into existing openings by the subcontractor. The existing openings were not consistent in size, even though they should have been; this meant that nearly every surround was different.  As a result every window had its own reference and a surround was made for that specific window and was individually packed on its own pallet. 
As the pallets had to be craned up to onto a loading gantry then transported by pallet truck through timber walkways (as the top of the upside down floor had been removed) we had to provide special pallets to use on the pallet truck.
Detailing, manufacture and delivery had to be co-ordinated with the works of the Main Contractor and Sub-Contractor which was carried out by the use of regular site meetings.
