Bristol-based Ridge and Partners LLP (Ridge), an award winning multi-discipline property and construction consultancy, has completed refurbishment works at 3 Temple Quay, a nine-storey office block in Bristol’s business district.
The project, which was commissioned by the building’s owner, M&G Real Estate, began in March 2016 with the design phase and has since seen the reception area, atrium and sanitary facilities completely updated and modernised. The project was a collaboration between a number of Ridge teams, including design, building surveying, mechanical and engineering (M&E) and cost management, which worked closely together to deliver the upgrade.
The refurbishment saw the teams overhaul the basement shower facilities and toilets across eight floors, new interior walls on each level in the atrium, updates of windows and lobby areas on each floor, as well as new furnishings and signage to the reception space and entrance.
Commenting on the project, Greg Aston, Building Surveying Partner at Ridge in Bristol, said: “We are delighted with the outcome at 3 Temple Quay, which the teams have worked tirelessly to deliver over the past two years. The project had its challenges as we needed to ensure disruption was kept to a minimum for existing tenants, but we worked closely with the building managers to ensure the works progressed as planned whilst maintaining a live working environment.”
Ridge launched its Bristol office in 1988 and is this year celebrating its 30th anniversary in the city. The team has been involved in a number of well-known projects in the city, including the redevelopment of Hartwell House on Victoria Street, the Airbus Aerospace Park in Filton, the design and build of the Knowle West Media Centre, as well as on a number of projects for the John Cabot Academy.
