Working Directly for BSKYB
This ensured that BSKYB were able to choose our floor system.
Elgood Flooring project managed and installed.
We liaised and worked alongside other trades involved in the Technical Fit Out.
Background
BSKYB called upon Elgood Flooring’s extensive experience for their new Harlequin 1 groundbreaking Headquarters.
We acted as an independent consultant and surveyed the sub floor for suitability. We were also asked to advise on installation and programme.
To retain control of the choice of flooring and to ensure that the studio floor met BSKYB rigorous high standard the Studio Flooring element was excluded from the Design and Build Package.
The Studio Flooring was and should be seen as an integral part of the final technical fit out. This approach is now being adopted as standard.
