Complete remodelling and fit-out of two multi-storey office blocks over existing occupied basement within the busy Irish Life Centre.
Situated in a city centre location adjacent to an operational Luas Line, programming, sequencing and safety issues were a key priority. The project, extending over 10 floors, incorporated CAT A and CAT B fit-out works, and also required extensive works to the existing facade including cleaning and repairs to existing stone and replacement of existing aluminium windows.
A complete strip out of existing fixtures and fittings commenced in Spring 2014 and the project required installation of new ceilings, partitions, joinery, wall & floor finishes, new sanitary ware, new mechanical and electrical equipment including new air conditioning, new fire alarm system and roof plant equipment.
