Can amenity space be added to an occupied building?

Yes, and it is common. The constraints are services capacity, acoustic isolation from tenants and the delivery route for equipment, all of which we assess before design is committed.

Do you provide the gym equipment?

We coordinate and install equipment where it is in scope, including the power, ventilation and floor loading it requires, and we work with a landlord's nominated supplier where one exists.

What do you need before you can advise?

The asset, the scope in question, who else is contracted and the date the space has to be open or occupied. From that we can set out where responsibility should sit and how the interfaces would be controlled.

Amenity and shared facilities

Amenity space that earns its floor area.

Amenity space is a letting instrument. It is measured by whether it moves a tenant's decision and whether the building can run it without cost surprises.

We deliver amenity floors and shared facilities with the operational requirements resolved: servicing, cleaning, access control, maintenance and the services capacity they consume.

Control

Where the risk actually sits.

Designed with the operating cost in view

Every amenity carries a running cost. Ventilation, cleaning and maintenance implications are set out with the design so the landlord can decide with the full picture.

Isolation before installation

Gyms and event spaces sit above or beside tenanted floors. Acoustic and vibration isolation is designed at the outset rather than corrected after a complaint.

Wet areas detailed properly

Showers and changing facilities are where amenity spaces fail. Waterproofing, falls and drainage are resolved on drawings and inspected before covering.
