197 Kensington High Street — Office Fit-Out

Drylining systems and plaster finishes across office interiors to design specification.

The project

197 Kensington High Street was a commercial office fit-out in central London. Ross Gill's previous experience included drylining systems, metal stud partitions, suspended ceilings, SFS framing and plaster finishes across office interiors to design specification.

Delivery requirements

A prime-location office fit-out required precise installation, careful sequencing around M&E and consistent quality. Key delivery considerations included:

• Sequencing works around M&E first and second fix
• Material call-offs for just-in-time delivery
• Accurate technical set-out from gridlines
• Maintaining finish standards in a live environment
• Structured snag close-out for on-time handover

Drylining

Internal wall lining systems across office interiors.

Metal Stud Partitions

Partition systems to architectural specification.

Suspended Ceilings

Ceiling systems coordinated with M&E.

SFS Framing

Steel framing systems for structural infill.

Internal Plastering

Plaster finishes to design specification.

External Rendering

External render systems where applicable.

Technical Set-Out

Accurate setting-out from gridlines and drawings.

How the package was managed

Large-scale construction packages depend on labour planning, sequencing and coordination as much as installation.

Ross's responsibilities included installation, crew management and material coordination. Relevant responsibilities included:
