Brief
Newark and Sherwood District Council called upon our mechanical and electrical services for the extensive refurbishment works at the iconic Buttermarket in Newark.
A disused carvery pub within the building needed to be converted into a new education suite with staff facilities included.
The services had to be brought up to date within a tight timeframe to ensure the project could go out to tender in time.

Scope
The works to transform the mezzanine floor were carried out whilst the ground floor (a public space) was still being used. Careful consideration was taken to make sure any disruptions were kept to a minimum.
Our Mechanical Engineers delivered new ventilation strategies, hot and cold water services, and an improved heating system. We provided a full breakdown of various options for the heating system (including carbon emissions, performance, capital and running costs) to allow the client to make a decision which suited their requirements.
Electrical works for this project included new power circuiting and installing energy-efficient LED lighting that required less maintenance, was visually more appealing, and fitted well with the industrial style.
