Building Consultancy, Business Space, Commercial, Industrial & Logistics
SHW are pleased to announce the successful completion of a recent industrial unit refurbishment project for StorageMart at 137 Wellington Road, Portslade where SHW’s Building Consultancy Department were involved from acquisition to handover.
Responsibilities included:
Pre-acquisition Survey:
- Providing technical due diligence to support the investment decision.
Planning Consent:
- Securing approval for the necessary upgrades and improvements.
Project Management:
- Overseeing the works from start to finish, ensuring quality, budget, and timelines were maintained.
Contract Administration:
- Managing contractual obligations and ensuring smooth delivery for the client.
Cost Consultancy:
- Providing budget advice, cost planning, and financial oversight throughout.
Sustainability:
- Integrating energy-efficient upgrades and low-impact materials to achieve BREEAM "Very Good".
This project converted a 28,000 sq ft former factory into a modern self-storage facility, coordinating with contractors, consultants, and the client to meet programme, budget, and quality standards while managing risks and on-site challenges.
Daniel Saunders, Senior VP at StorageMart commented "When we were first introduced to the site it was difficult to see past the sheer scale of contamination across the entire building so every surface required correct remediation. SHW in tandem with the principal contractor brought great insights and novel approaches to deliver on our expectations and budget despite the myriad challenges the site presented".
