16 Chart Street – a redevelopment of a former 1930’s furniture warehouse in Hackney, with a #CLT, #glulam, #BauBuche and #steelwork vertical extension 💡 Built to create new headquarters for Heyne Tillett Steel, the four-story building has been repurposed and the area increased to include a new side extension, an additional storey on the roof and a new central staircase. Conceived as a workshop and studio space, the new floor level has been designed to promote collaboration featuring a flexible, column free space with four rows of 10m long, north-light, windows maximizing indirect light. B&K Structures supplied, installed and supported the design of the cross laminated timber, glulam and BauBuche beams, and the elements of structural steel to support the #refurbishment of the existing three storey building into new commercial space, with the addition of a one storey CLT roof extension and external structural staircase. BKS were responsible for the erection of the steel frame for the stair core and side extension, which involved a challenging erection phase due to the logistics of the long and slender steel members and limited space. The timber side extension included CLT walls and floors, with Glulam support beams at every level. Our design team provided the temporary works for the propping of the structure during installation and worked very closely with HTS to contribute to the design and development of their connection details. The CLT has been left exposed throughout the building, mimicking the exposed masonry finishes of the original building.

In commercial construction, choosing the right windows and doors can make a dramatic difference to the function and feeling of the space. At DuCo we understand the unique considerations when it comes to selecting joinery solutions. In our latest blog, we share our own considerations to ensure your joinery aligns with the window and door specifications or design of your project https://hubs.ly/Q02-rq180 #commercialconstruction #windowsanddoors #aluminiumwindowsanddoors

When interlocking becomes fun, like a Lego brick game, there's nothing as beautiful and fulfilling as seeing conceptualizations becomes reality. #civilconstruction #construction #constructionireland #geotechnical #civilengineering

Day 15 of our Advent Calendar Unexpected costs are a hot topic in construction. As long as you’ve specified your project correctly, As in included all the necessary information and build details prior to tendering and selecting your builder, it has to be these two areas: The ground - Groundwork’s is the area which you can blow your budget very early on. Footings and foundations can cost a lot more if they aren’t standard strip footings. My biggest piece of advice would be to dig trial holes, prior to starting and have a structural engineer inspect as part of your structural package. This will give you a good indication before you commit and reduce any nasty surprises! Structure on older properties - When renovating an older property which has stood for 100s of years you’d think it’s solid? It is until you start ripping it apart. You can loose £1,000s in unknown costs when doing a full renovation, lintels above windows and doors, rotten timbers, unsafe brickwork. My biggest advice is to account for everything, if something isn’t needed then it’s a win. #construction #architecture #design #building #interiordesign #renovation #contractor #engineering #home #realestate #concrete #constructionlife #builder #homedecor #interior #homeimprovement #civilengineering #architect #heavyequipment #homedesign #constructionsite #carpentry #tools #builders #roofing #house #electrician #work #homerenovation #business

Our latest cladding project in partnership with Alucraft Ltd demonstrates the application of MMC and offsite principles to façade design and construction really well. A bespoke rainscreen façade for Fifteen George’s Quay in Dublin has enhanced the aesthetic appeal of this landmark commercial building. The metal rainscreen has provided a robust, low-maintenance façade solution that meets the stringent performance requirements for a waterside location.   The redevelopment of this prime commercial building included the addition of two new upper floors and the entire façade was replaced with a new envelope that successfully blends stone, metalwork and floor-to-ceiling glazing with panoramic views.   Our aluminium cladding was finished in two shades of bronze and used to striking effect in vertical and horizontal rectilinear configurations which complement the stonework.   Our advanced digital design and smart manufacturing processes combined with the high level of pre-assembly ensured a level of quality control and precision that would have been difficult to achieve on site.
