McCarthys was awarded the rebuild of a 32,000 sq ft commercial warehouse and two-storey internal office suite through competitive tender, following significant fire damage that destroyed approximately 80% of the original structure.
Works involved extensive structural analysis, replacement and realignment of the steel portal frame, and installation of new roof coverings, cladding, windows, doors, and roller shutters. McCarthys also managed the reconnection of M&E services and delivered a full CAT A fit-out of the office accommodation.
Also included the repair and replacement of damaged internal floors, refurbishment of external areas, and new landscaping to restore the site’s operational and visual quality.
Outcomes:
- Delivered under a JCT contract, the project was completed within strict cost and programme constraints, demonstrating McCarthys’ commitment to quality, efficiency, and client satisfaction
- Full restoration of a fire-damaged facility
- Modern, fully functional warehouse and office space
