Local points to consider
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Felixstowe are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
