Case Studies

Mill Street, London

Stage 1

This job involved a complete renovation of a first-floor one bedroom flat in London. The property was completely empty and stripped back before we were instructed.

On our initial visit with the client we discussed the project in-depth; the client already had some designs in place which we explored alongside the costs and finances. Throughout the design process we used our BIMx software to help the client visualize the new layout and design.

The project involved new plumbing, heating and electrical systems and bespoke carpentry.

Stage 2

The first job of the first fix stage was to level out all floors throughout. To do this we built off the existing joists with additional cross floor joists to create a level floor throughout. The ceilings were also dropped with a metal frame and sound-proofed.

At this stage we were able to first fix all plumbing, heating and electrical systems.

With floor and ceiling ready, we were able to install the metal stud walls to create the divides between rooms.

With all rooms created we could move on to boarding out and plastering the walls and ceilings.

Underfloor heating was installed throughout the kitchen and living room. This was then covered with Correx, which is a protection for flooring.

Stage 3

This stage involved 2nd fixing of the plumbing & electrics throughout. We fitted all kitchen units, work tops and appliances; the WC and bathroom sanitary ware; and bespoke fitted wardrobes in the bedroom.

Wood floor was laid throughout the living areas and tiled floors in WC and bathroom. Lastly all internal doors were fitted.

Stage 4

At the finishing stage all paperwork was complete and any remedial works carried out. The whole site was then cleared and a cleaning company employed to finish off to a high professional standard.

Stage 5

On completion of the job all necessary warranties came into play and the RCM team were on hand for any queries or issues. The job took 4 months to complete.
