Work on site this week was:-
of course, it was s short week and not a great deal happened but:-
On the 4th floor, the drylining, including sound insulation and the resilient bars have continued to be fitted. Rooms have been built. Fire separation work was carried out to the ceiling between floors.
M&E to the new apartments continuing.
The new main roof timber framing is completed and firings and plywood decking started to be fitted this week.
Final parts of the window installation making good works being carried out.
Furtehr work carried out to the rear of the Knight Frank unit.
Work to be carried out next week;
Roof structure will continue. This to include the plywood decking in readiness for the stainless steel finish.
Further making good works around the new fitted windows.
On the 4th floor, the drylining, including sound insulation and the resilient bars will continue to be fitted.
Plumbing and electrics to continue.
Further preparation on the front elevation in readiness for the stone panelling. This to include repairing the front concrete panels prior to the stone being fitted. This is to protect the reinforcing bars and to give a flat surface to fix the stainless steel rails to. A special concrete repair mortar is being used.
Knight Frank rear courtyard work will be prepared. There is to be a new rear extension to the Knight Frank unit and this is due to start next week. Metal escape staircase to be removed.
Work will be carried out in the Lift shaft ready to extend. Apologies but there will be some noise involved because some of the concrete floor has to be cut away. This is to enable the largest Lift car possible using most of the existing shaft. Next week will see the block walls being built and with the main work likely to be the week after.
Looking further ahead. The Lift is ordered and the interior finishes selected. The new Lift is probably about 6 weeks away from being fitted. The stone to the front was ordered months ago and is currently being cut. Sections will start to be fitted on site from the end of September. Stainless steel roofing work to the new part will continue within the next couple of weeks and once the plywood base is fitted.
Render repairs to the front concrete panels.
Roof to the rear. It looks more like the framing of a ship!
Top of the roof now ready for firing sections and plywood base.

Fire stopping on the ceiling between the new 4th and 5th floors. There is to be another finished ceiling beneath this.
