Coordination

Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.

Shared buildings

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Future use

Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.

Working hours

Most Ballymena businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Types of premises we cover in Ballymena

  • Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
