Project overview
Acorn House at 45 Great Oaks, Basildon, has been converted from an office building into 94 one and two bedroom apartments, with a ground floor concierge space. The building was sold to Basildon Council in 2019, and Ocea were retained by the council to develop the building on their behalf.
GA Interiors was appointed by main contractor Davis Construction (South East) Ltd under a sub-contract dated 9 November 2020, with works starting on site that month.
Our scope
GA Interiors delivered the interior package that turned the former office floors into individual homes:
- SFS framing
- Partition walls and wall linings, including party walls, using British Gypsum systems supplemented with metal studwork
- Insulation
- Suspended ceilings and MF ceilings
- Plastering and tape and joint finishes
- Fire stopping
Work at height was carried out from mobile towers and podium steps erected and inspected by PASMA-trained operatives, and each floor was signed off against GA Interiors quality control sheets covering party walls, partitions and wall linings.
Outcome
Davis Construction certified practical completion of the GA Interiors sub-contract works on 24 September 2021.
