PROJECT
WARINGSTOWN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH HALL
“During lockdown it became apparent that there were issues with lead times in relation to certain materials, most notably facing bricks and timber,” said Martin. “We highlighted this prior to commencement and built brick sample panels at a very early stage. Once the brick was chosen the order was placed immediately, ensuring they were delivered in good time. The steel frame was originally specified as having intumescent paint factory applied. “As the frame was required at an early stage, we identified a potential delay due to more time being required after fabrication to apply the paint prior to delivery,” said Martin. “There was also a risk that the paint could be damaged during the erection process. We held discussions with the design team and agreed that the intumescent paint would be applied on site after the steel was erected. This allowed the frame to be delivered earlier, eliminating a risk to the
programme and it protected the quality of the finished surfaces. Construction was carried out in a ‘live’ environment which required close liaison between the site manager, Kevin Dougan and the client’s facility manager, Brian Taylor. “We introduced a one-way system to keep construction traffic away from the congregation traffic and agreed down times for specific church occasions such as funerals.” The client was full of praise for the consideration and dedication directed to the project, stating, “Throughout
always accommodated in a timely and professional manner.” Commenting on the completed project, Martin said, “It was one of those jobs that rarely comes around, where the design team, client and contractor all get along really well. It really was a pleasure to work on from start to finish.” Client: Waringstown Presbyterian Church Main Contractor: Moss Construction (NI) Ltd Architect: Kennedy Fitzgerald Quantity Surveyor: Rainey & Best M&E Consultant: RJ Smyth & Associates PROJECT TEAM...
