Construction, refurbishment and fit-out under one project
Crestane Construction provides commercial construction, refurbishment and fit-out services across London for clients requiring individual construction packages or coordinated multi-trade delivery.
Commercial projects can involve very different requirements from one site to another. One project may require an existing unit to be stripped and refurbished, while another may involve structural alterations, new building services, partitions, ceilings, flooring, joinery and a complete internal fit-out.
Crestane's approach is based around the overall scope rather than one individual trade. This allows the relevant construction, structural, mechanical, electrical and finishing packages to be considered together.
Suitable work can range from individual commercial alteration packages through to substantial office, retail, hospitality and other commercial refurbishment projects.
Commercial construction packages from strip-out to final fit-out
The exact scope is determined by the property and proposed use. Individual packages can be undertaken or several elements can be coordinated as part of a wider project.
Strip-Out
Removal of existing internal fit-out, finishes, fixtures, partitions and other elements required before the new work begins.
Enabling Works
Preparation of the building or space ahead of structural, services, refurbishment and fit-out packages.
Structural Alterations
Structural openings, steelwork, internal alterations and reconfiguration where required by the proposed layout.
Partitions & Drylining
Internal partitions, drylining, wall construction and associated preparation for the new layout.
Ceilings
Ceiling construction and associated works coordinated with lighting, ventilation and other building services.
Electrical & Lighting
Electrical alteration, power, lighting and associated installation work required by the commercial project.
Plumbing & Mechanical
Plumbing, heating, ventilation and associated building services coordinated with the proposed fit-out.
Flooring & Tiling
Floor preparation, commercial flooring and tiling incorporated into the overall finishing programme.
Carpentry & Joinery
Doors, timber work, internal carpentry, joinery and other fit-out components.
Painting & Decorating
Preparation, decoration and finishing as part of the completed commercial environment.
Groundworks & External Works
External construction, drainage, foundations, paving and related works where required.
Complete Fit-Out
Coordination of multiple packages through to final finishes, snagging and project completion.
Commercial work across different property environments
Commercial spaces vary significantly in layout, access, building services and operational requirements. The construction scope should respond to the specific building and intended use.
Larger projects require more than individual trades
Commercial refurbishment and fit-out projects often involve several trades working within the same space and programme. The order in which these packages are delivered can have a direct effect on efficiency and finished quality.
Structural alterations may need to happen before new partitions and ceilings. Building services need to be coordinated before areas are closed up. Flooring and decorating need to follow the appropriate construction activities.
Crestane can coordinate these interfaces so the project is considered as a complete construction programme rather than a collection of unrelated trades.
From existing commercial space to its new use
The terminology varies between projects, but commercial works commonly combine refurbishment, alteration and fit-out rather than falling neatly into one category.
Updating or substantially improving an existing commercial property and its internal fabric.
Creating the internal layout, services and finishes needed for the intended commercial use.
Reconfiguration and upgrading of office interiors, services and finishes.
Internal construction and finishing for suitable shops and retail premises.
Commercial construction packages for suitable restaurants, cafés and hospitality environments.
Removal, repair and alteration required to return or prepare commercial premises for another use.
Changes to the building where openings, steelwork or significant reconfiguration are required.
A broader project incorporating several of the above packages within one programme.
Commercial alterations can involve substantial construction
Not every commercial refurbishment is purely cosmetic. Changes to layouts, access, building services or the intended use of a space can require more substantial building work.
Where the design involves structural openings or modification of load-bearing elements, the appropriate structural information should be established before those works are carried out.
Similarly, electrical, plumbing, heating and ventilation requirements need to be coordinated with partitions, ceilings and final layouts before finishes are completed.
This is why Crestane positions commercial construction as a coordinated project rather than only an internal decorating or finishing service.
What affects commercial construction and fit-out cost?
Commercial project costs depend heavily on the existing property, proposed use, construction scope and specification. A meaningful quotation needs to reflect the actual project rather than a generic square-metre figure alone.
