1 & 2 Fitzroy Place
MPG wrap up their commercial packages at No 1 & 2 Fitzroy Place. The project based in the heart of Fitzrovia, London, comprised of 2 blocks of 220,000 sq. ft. of office and retail space. MPG working for their client Sir Robert McAlpine as main contractor and client Exemplar were responsible for the installation of drylining and suspended ceilings. The drylining element was installed using British Gypsum drywall and shaft wall systems to the core and exterior linings along with the toilets to the CAT A office areas. The ceilings package involved British Gypsum MF ceilings to all areas while in the CAT A areas SAS 330 and 220 systems were deployed on all floor plates and GRG light troughs throughout.
In addition, MPG had responsibility for the installation of Kingspan Steel Framing System (SFS), vapour barriers, tyvek, insulation and silver tape to the exteriors, while in the lobby areas formed sub-frames with stainless steel trims ready to receive polished plaster. In the basement areas soffit insulation and cement board were installed.
A challenging project with a combined contract of £4.1 Million successfully completed. The main challenge was the multi-facet elements within the contract, that required close co-ordination and planning with other trades, particularly the interface with external cladding system installers. As a result of the high quality of workmanship, and managing interfacing packages successfully, the client, Exemplar, has insisted MPG are invited to tender for the next exciting opportunity, 1 Bedford Avenue.
