Background
The reconfiguration of high-end apartments within a higher-risk residential building on Park Lane required a carefully managed route through approvals, design development and procurement. The project combined exacting residential standards, constrained access, freeholder requirements and the building control process overseen by the Building Safety Regulator.
GIR Group was appointed to manage the project from pre-construction through delivery, bringing the client, consultants, freeholder team and prospective contractors into one coordinated process.
The Challenge
Before work could commence, the scheme required freeholder consent through the Licence for Alterations process, a robust building control approval application and a suitable contractor for a constrained, high-specification environment.
Each element depended on consistent design and safety information, while decisions across architectural, fire, CDM, access and commercial disciplines needed to remain aligned. The central challenge was maintaining clear ownership, reliable information and momentum across multiple parties.
What We Did
GIR Group acted as the central point of control across the project.
- Managed the Licence for Alterations process with the freeholder's professional team.
- Coordinated the building control approval application and supporting consultant information.
- Aligned architectural, fire safety, CDM, access and commercial inputs.
- Managed a structured contractor selection and tender process through the cost consultant.
The Outcome
The building control approval package has been prepared, the structured contractor tender has been issued, and the Licence for Alterations process has advanced through the freeholder's professional team.
GIR Group continues to manage the regulatory, design and commercial interfaces as the project progresses towards construction, providing the client with clear accountability, coordinated information and a controlled basis for the next stage of delivery.
