Rochester Hotel, Westminster
This project was an extensive refurbishment of a 76 bedroom hotel in Westminster. The building was completed in 1913, with a major extension including an additional floor in 1923, and also contains meeting rooms, a business suite, restaurant, bar and lounge, and a grocery store.
Our Role
Brookbanks was first appointed to survey the building and produce a mechanical and electrical options report covering heating, air conditioning, ventilation, domestic water, controls, electrical distribution, lighting, emergency lighting, fire alarm and alarm systems.
We were then instructed to appraise the installing contractor’s design proposals for renewing and refurbishing the M&E services throughout the building, both before work started on site and, for some proposals, during the works.
The Outcome
Our appointment included regular site inspections, site and online meetings, witnessing phased handovers, testing and commissioning, and reporting on the progress and quality of the contractor’s works and their adherence to the design.
Through this oversight, the historic hotel’s services were renewed phase by phase to a consistent standard.
