Client: Fusion Lifestyle Project: Braintree Leisure Centre As part of the ongoing programme of development Integral Build were engaged to carry out a large scale refurbishment and fit out at Braintree Leisure Centre in Essex.
Client: Fusion Lifestyle Project: Braintree Leisure Centre Logistics: With the centre being attached to the local secondary school the logistics of the site were particularly challenging with regard to programme and day to day deliveries. Whilst at the same time ensuring that the leisure centre was kept fully operational during the 15 week project, this was achieved via a multiple phase programme and the introduction of temporary screens and hoardings to ensure site works and members were kept safely apart. The works in involved an enlarged modern hi�tec gym incorporating functional fitness and free weights area, an improved and upgraded first floor studio, a new spin studio, crèche area, upgraded changing facilities across the centre including upgraded mechanical and electrical installations. A new food servery was constructed & installed to allow the supply of light meals during functions. A new swipe card entrance door access system was installed for better control/segregation of the School pupils during School hours.
Client: Fusion Lifestyle Project: Braintree Leisure Centre Integral Build’s on site Project Manager worked closely with centre and school management to ensure no works interfered with the ongoing operations in the centre and the school, this was successfully achieved with handover taking place as planned at the end of the school holidays.
“From the outset it was obvious that the Project Manager and team were on top of everything on site. They managed the work well, particularly since works had to take into account school hours and with people there. They were fantastic at keeping contractors ‘at bay’ with a wholly appropriate stern approach. I was impressed with his management of the team. At completion works still require a few snagging issues to be completed but I am very happy with the facility. All snags were dealt with very promptly. The Project Manager was brilliant.– he saw the whole thing from the client’s point of view and this is to be commended. I’ve worked in the leisure sector for many years and if there was another centre requiring work similar to this I would certainly recommend the Integral Build team. Good job done. “
