Fit-out and new-build lighting work in Gloucestershire
We coordinate with ceiling and partition trades on Gloucestershire fit-outs so first fix is done before ceilings close.
Fit-outs in Gloucestershire need lighting that meets current energy rules on the day building control signs off, so we check efficacy at design stage.
What's included
- Controls designed in, not bolted on
- Certificates, as-fitted schedules and O&M information
- Part L (or national equivalent) efficacy evidence for building control
- Coordination with ceiling, partition and M&E trades
