Client:

Sharkey & The Law Society of Scotland

Value:

£62,000

Duration:

9 Weeks

Testimonial:

“Worksmart Contracts were appointed by Sharkey in September 2015 to supply and install an array of Optima specified single and double glazed partitions and doors for the Law Society of Scotland office fit-out project at Atria One in Edinburgh. From commencement of the project Worksmart assisted with providing invaluable technical and cost advice in resolving a number of design and value engineering considerations, some of which were incorporated into the final design.

Worksmart were able to successfully complete their scope of works within an often fast-paced and frenetic 3-month construction programme duration. Through specialist workmanship and attention to detail the glazing installation was completed to a very high standard and to the satisfaction of Sharkey, the architect and, most importantly, the client. Finally, Sharkey would have absolutely no hesitation in employing Worksmart on future projects (and have continued to do so) for works of a similar nature to those completed at Atria One. - Russell Beswick - Sharkey

Introduction to the Project

The Law Society of Scotland were established in 1949 and are financed by their members without any funding from the government.

All Scottish practising solicitors are members of the Society and are required to meet their high standards. They also have an important duty towards public interest. (As a professional body, their purpose is to lead legal excellence - this reflects their leadership role and their pursuit of excellence, taking them beyond simply being successful and respected and recognising that their members operate in and outside of Scotland.)* Assure, Serve, Excel, Influence & Grow is The Law Society of Scotland’s five main objectives.

“We have created a bold, ambitious five-year strategy taking us towards 2020.” - The Law Society of Scotland The works consisted of supplying and installing Optima glazed screens & doors with manifestation installed by others.

Worksmart’s Intervention Sharkey appointed Worksmart as sub-contractor to supply & install Optima glazed solutions for The Law Society of Scotland as they relocated from Drumsheugh Gardens to the new Atria One development in Edinburgh. Various meeting rooms and hubs were created using Optima 117+ single glazed screens in white powder coated aluminium (RAL 9010) with single doors on quad and floor spring.

Others used Rev97 double glazed screens with vertical ghost dri-joints (12.8mm acoustic laminated, 12mm toughened glass) incorporating edge symmetry double glazed doors on quad and floor spring. An Optima Kinetic “Lite” sliding door was also installed, the glazed solutions established structure and privacy in the open plan environment. The final result complied with Sharkey’s specifications and provided the client with a dynamic and modern workspace with better facilities allowing for improved service.
