This project was one of many to be completed under the Construction Framework with Wilkinson’s, executing fit-outs and refurbishments to existing shells to create hardware stores on a national basis. It is the aim of the Client to maintain a four contractor national framework and deliver a cost effective 8 week on site delivery of store fit-outs. When the Client makes acquisitions, we are involved from the outset providing liaison on buildability issues and budgets. This removes uncertainty down the line and provides an early insight. Wilkinson’s construction management team have achieved, with their framework contractors, a zero defects culture and good relations with the end user, the retail management team, on whose premises we work. This has been achieved by careful planning and co-operation at all levels.
