Things to check in Crowthorne

Future use

Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.

Neighbours and noise

Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.

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.
