Shop Fitting Contractors, Pacy and Wheatley Interiors, complete Magnet Inverness

Magnet Kitchen Inverness Outside



  • Client: The Magnet Group

    • Sector: Retail Park – Mixed trade and retail store
    • Type: Specified
    • Procurement: Tender
    • Location: Stadium Way Inverness
    • Project Value: £230,000.00

    The Project

    Pacy and Wheatley Interiors, specialising in shop fitting contracts, were delighted to have won the tender to fit out a new purpose built Magnet showroom in Inverness.
    The works involved the installation of a dividing Jumbo stud wall to separate the warehouse area from the retail and trade showrooms. There was also a requirement to install back of house facilities including a disabled access toilet and wash areas. We also created and fitted a staff kitchen into this section of the building. As mentioned above when we took over the building it was just an empty shell and we were commissioned to fit out the whole store which included the fitting of a new air conditioning system, new ceilings and fully decorated both externally and internally. New Kitchen product was then fitted into pre made room sets to form individual fully illuminated Kitchen sets which will be displayed to the general public. State of the art planning areas were also installed where store technicians will produce layouts of a potential new Kitchens for members of the general public, The design of these stores is very intricate and demanding and there was a need for high levels of communication and regular site meetings to ensure clarity between the many contractors involved as well as the direct trades who work for the client. H&S on the project needed to be closely monitored and regular tool box talks took place to ensure zero accidents were achieved. This was achieved which is testament to the safe and professional way in which the project was carried out.

    The Solution

    This particular store being situated in Inverness proved to be very challenging logistically. We had to ensure that all materials and plant were procured very thoroughly so as to avoid costly further deliveries, everything had to be carefully monitored to ensure the smooth running of the project. We also had to contend with Kitchen product shortages which meant that we had to carefully and painstakingly check all items delivered and then ensure that any shortages were fed back to the client in a very timely manner so that we could get the missing product delivered directly to site with the minimum amount of delay in order to ensure the project was completed on time in order for the store to launch in line with marketing and press releases
    Another difficult project in a demanding location completed to the clients full satisfaction.
    This is an example of another difficult high street location completed on time and on budget to the clients full satisfaction. To discuss how we may help with your project please Contact Us.

    Interior Refurbishment in Wakefield | West Yorkshire



    • Client: Addison Colbeck - Doncaster
    • Sector: Interiors
    • Type: Specified
    • Procurement: Tender Negotiated
    • Location: Wakefield, West Yorkshire
    • Project Value: £13,000. 00

    The Project

    We were approached by Addison Colbeck who we met at a Chamber of commerce local Construction event
    The project involved the part refurbishment of the school Restaurant. Our role within this area was to demolish the old queuing system and build 3 new Blockwork walls which formed the new queuing system, re decorate the area and re – position the existing pay stations.
    Within the main Atrium area we part demolished an existing seating area and installed a new staircase to match the existing at the other end of the Atrium. We also installed a Water supply to the newly installed server in the Atrium area and re decorated totally the new server area
    These works were completed in a 2 working week period whilst the school was closed for the Summer holidays in a very congested area but the works were well programmed work schedule.

    The Challenge

    The land was formally a petrol station which had been demolished sometime previously but left in disrepair. It also abutted the bottom of a railway line embankment which produced difficulties with Health & Safety requirements from Railtrack. The old petrol station steel pipework and drainage remained and would require making safe. Access to site was off a busy dual carriageway with a footpath being used by local school children. Utility services were present in the footpath and the site was adjacent to local shops and housing The client had let the building and certain design elements needed to be incorporated into the build program to suit the end user.


    The Solution

    Working closely with the School Caretaker and the project Manager from Addison Colbeck to ensure that P&W successfully installed all the required works, ensuring that the works were completed on time and to budget with minimum disruption to the School.

    The Project

    Pacy and Wheatley Retail and Leisure Design and Build shopfit project to construct a single story retail unit for the developer on an old disused site which had laid in disrepair for many years.

    The Challenge

    The land was formally a petrol station which had been demolished sometime previously but left in disrepair. It also abutted the bottom of a railway line embankment which produced difficulties with Health & Safety requirements from Railtrack. The old petrol station steel pipework and drainage remained and would require making safe. Access to site was off a busy dual carriageway with a footpath being used by local school children. Utility services were present in the footpath and the site was adjacent to local shops and housing The client had let the building and certain design elements needed to be incorporated into the build program to suit the end user.

    The Solution

    A close cooperation was needed between ourselves, sub contractors and network rail to ensure the safe working of piling and steel erection. Ground bearing piles were installed using a 7m piling machine and planned installation program to ensure that no plant or materials could fall within 6m of the railway line. The steelwork and pumping of concrete for the foundations and ground floor slab were programmed in a similar manner. Mail drops to the local areas were carried out to let the local residents know of our proposed construction works. Safe access including banksman to assist the public were present when works to the highway crossings were being undertaken. Close consultation was undertaken between ourselves, the local highways department and utility companies for the crossing works and lane closures to the dual carriageway.

                 

    Key Achievements

    Excellent site management and close contact with the design team produced a quality building for the client.
    Delivery on time and in budget.
    Majestic Wine awarded Pacy and Wheatley Construction the fit out contract and further works.
