Added Value:
- At tender stage we proposed an alternative glass balustrading system as it became apparent that the fixing detail for the designed system could be insufficient. The alternative system provided cost savings
- Careful removal of bespoke joinery finishes for reinstatement provided cost savings and retained existing features
Community Benefits:
