During summer 2023 Jupiter Construction successfully completed a modest 7-week project that was commercial kitchen refurbishment, office space and welfare facilities for staff within a Victorian building which required a full strip out of existing kitchen, specialist removal of asbestos flooring.
The real goal was to bring the kitchen facilities up to date and current standard relating to catering and hygiene in a school and education environment.

The works themselves whilst starting out as straight forward project the client made a change to the start date meaning the team had to skilfully manage the knock-on effect to these where sub-contractors were involved – whilst this was not a problem per ce it did mean that some discussions needed to be had.
Due to the nature of the old Victorian building access and egress was a challenge, particularly where delivery of the larger units were concerned – Given the works were planned and booked to be completed during the summer break there could be no allowance or slippage in terms of timings which is well known to the Jupiter Construction team given the high volume of education related projects that the team have completed in recent years.
The team involved in this project were very experienced from Contracts Management to Quantity Surveyor, Site Management and Health and Safety support, this extended to a robustly managed team of sub-contractors, Jupiter Construction prides itself on a reliable and suitably competent supply chain with a solid Pre-Construction phase built into all projects. The short delay requested by the client meant that the team had to make sure that the program of works was amended and reflected each and every change and that the H&S impact of all matters were accounted for.
Jupiter Construction achieved success for the client, delivering a timely project completion whilst adhering to budgetary constraints, working with the client to manage he requested delay the project progressed as planned, any request was met with a Jupiter smile and positive attitude and the delay was factored in as efficiently as possible to ensure a seamless delivery of the core project aims, all finished to the high standard that the Jupiter Construction team have become known for and of course to the clients satisfaction.
