PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project involves the renovation and enhancement of the existing Teaching Support Office at the University of Edinburgh. The primary objective is to transform the space into a modern, functional, and collaborative environment that promotes social interaction and effective teamwork among staff and students. This includes significant alterations to the existing infrastructure, with a focus on improving both the aesthetic appeal and operational efficiency of the space.

KEY CHALLENGES

The project was conducted during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which presented significant logistical challenges, particularly when it came to organizing deliveries. To minimise disruption during busy festival periods, deliveries had to be carefully scheduled outside of peak hours. An additional layer of complexity arose because all deliveries had to pass through an existing large Graham Construction site. This required precise coordination
and detailed planning to ensure that deliveries were not only made at times
convenient for the construction site but also adhered to the project’s
timeline.

Effective coordination with subcontractors was essential to avoid delays. planning their deliveries and activities demanded close communication and scheduling to ensure that materials were available when needed. This level of organisation was key in maintaining workflow continuity, minimizing downtime, and avoiding conflicts between different teams on-site.
