Every project 1.61 London undertakes has been uniquely designed and our specialised tailored approach to construction through our best in class implementation team ensures consistent levels of final delivery.
Permissions
Working in parallel with our design team, the construction division look at the various permissions that are required for the project. There is the need to understand if planning and/or listed consents are required for the work that has been agreed. Alongside this a license for alterations may also be required depending on the ownership structure and location. All of these permissions can be lengthy and it's therefore important to run this aspect in parallel with the design process as much as is possible.
Site Set Up
Once we have agreed an implementation package through our interior design process - our team run through our pre-start procedures which includes various aspects from checking on asbestos, running health and safety, setting up a site office with welfare and ensuring all the correct insurances are in place.
