The housing specialist PiLON have achieved 100% customer satisfaction at Cooper Road Willesden. Working as a subcontractor for Durkan PiLON have completed 38 flats across four blocks for two separate housing associations. Although we were tasked with completing this project in 24 weeks, our client had expressed a wish to target completion in 12 weeks. Due to accurate planning and comprehensive site management this was duly delivered. The project, which ran from December 2011 to May 2012, involved stripping out all newly installed internal finishes, including all Drylining and suspended ceilings, leaving the existing internal load bearing partitions. This was necessary due to a change in the specifications. Accelerated deliveries also meant that our buying department had to help constantly and make sure that our expectations were met along with our site teams checking the specifications with the Quantity Surveyor and check that this conformed with manufacturers’ recommendations. Revised specifications were agreed, issued and priced, then PiLON supplied and fitted all new suspended ceilings and Drylined all walls. A taped and jointed finish was applied to all new ceilings and walls rather than the standard skim coating previously used on other projects to great success. An unusual aspect of the project was the complexity of the specification we had been given in relation to walls and ceilings. But with a great team effort along with the ability of our managers to manage an ever changing goal in relation to the client’s needs, made the project so successful. In addition to the flats, the communal staircases up to 5 stories high in two of the blocks required a complete strip of all Drylining and re-installation of plasterboard to revised specification. Other works included: fire rated boxing in of “ This was a difficult project with challenging timescales which had to be met for the Clients funding requirements. We employed the services of Pilon Limited, one of our existing preferred supply chain contractors, who pro-actively planned and resourced their works to produce a quality product on time and on budget. ” John Lewcock, contracts manager, Durkan www.pilon.co.uk CASE STUDY REFURBISHMENT AND BUILDING SPECIALIST COMMUNITY PROJECTS IN WOKINGHAM On 11th March 2011 PiLON, together with our client delivered a “make your own bird box” initiative to a class of Westende pupils in Wokingham. The initiative was welcomed by the children who were very excited to build their own bird box under the supervision of qualified PiLON supervisors. Waste wood collected from sites was used for the bird boxes and at the end of the initiative 30 bird boxes were ready to welcome little birds. “ The children were very passionate about this initiative and we were glad to be a part of it. They were keen to learn how to use the tools and it was a fun making bird boxes with them. ” Ciprian Chirica - PiLON Project Manager PiLON also helped its client to renovate the 2nd Woodley Scouts building in Wokingham. The building became the headquarters of the 2nd Woodley Scouts and has slowly been renovated and updated over the years. The major works included: plastering, new plumbing, flooring, electrics, decorating, replacing all fittings and generally making the facilities much brighter and fit for purpose, leaving a very necessary community legacy. “ The marvellous refurbishment work of these facilities has really improved the centre for the Scouts, Cubs, Beavers and the local community, who also use the centre extensively. ” Chas Randle, Group Scout Leader, 2nd Woodley Scouts PiLON Divisional Manager Adrian Solomei, together with the client’srepresentatives presented a plaque to mark the occasion and received a colourful “thank you” from some of the 2nd Woodley Cubs and Beavers. www.pilon.co.uk REFURBISHMENT AND BUILDING SPECIALIST REFURBISHMENT AND BUILDING SPECIALIST Ashurst Manor, Church Lane, Ascot SL5 7DD Tel: 01344 206 800 Fax: 01344 206 820 Email: info@pilon.co.uk Web: www.pilon.co.uk REFURBISHMENT AND BUILDING SPECIALIST Social Housing Regeneration TurnKey to New Build Green solutions: insulations & solar PV OUR SERVICES We offer national coverage working from regional bases covering all of England and South Wales and we offer three distinct but intertwined services.
