Building construction work

Tender description

The work scope includes refurbishing the Chancery building, providing a modern 21st century working environment for staff and future expansion. It involves a level of structural alteration to the building, internal remodelling and redecoration throughout and the complete replacement of all electrical services within the building. There is the opportunity for a partial decant of staff, but the project will be phased and elements of the building will need to remain operational at all times during the project. Although being undertaken in France, the project will be expected to substantially comply with UK building regulations.
