The project

RCS took over and substantially completed an unfinished extension and refurbishment at Laxton Drive in Hucknall after the original contractor left the works incomplete.

The extension approximately doubled the usable footprint at the rear of the home, creating a larger kitchen and living area. RCS assessed what had already been built, identified the outstanding work and coordinated the remaining trades through to a finished result.

The challenge

Inheriting partially completed work meant the team first had to understand the condition and quality of the existing installation. Electrical, plumbing, flooring, kitchen and finishing activities then had to be coordinated carefully around work already in place.

Scope of work

  • Completion and coordination of the outstanding building works
  • Complete kitchen rewire
  • New sockets and dedicated appliance supplies
  • Recessed LED lighting
  • New plumbing and waste services
  • Fitted kitchen installation
  • Appliance installation and final connections
  • Kitchen island installation
  • New flooring
  • Sink, hob and extraction installation
  • Making good and final finishing
