The client had two main concerns: sound transmission between rooms and the performance of ventilation and air-conditioning in an older office building, particularly with part of the ceiling left exposed.

For an IT workplace, acoustic privacy and concentration are operational requirements. HVAC performance also had to provide stable comfort without introducing excessive equipment noise into the workspace.

The assignment covered tenant-side representation throughout the fit-out process — from reviewing the landlord delivery standard and technical lease provisions, through change coordination, to final inspections.

• Cost & contractor controlcost review, contractor negotiations and change verification.
• Schedule & coordinationprogramme review and coordination of tenant-driven changes.
• Handoverquality inspections, snagging and readiness for occupation.

The project specification explicitly required acoustic performance of partitions and careful façade interfaces. Part of the office also used exposed ceilings and visible services, making HVAC coordination directly relevant to acoustic comfort.
