Metropolitan has carried out dilapidation and consolidation works ever since our inception. This has been driven by our in-house technical maintenance teams who understand the clients services and requirements. These are often reactive projects which are carried out outside of normal working hours for minimal disruption of the clients operations.

Over the years, many variables have changed the way our office spaces are laid out, with a move years ago to consolidate more staff into what was considered wasted floor space, then more recently, work spaces have become more spread out ‘hot desks’ with collaboration spaces. We are now seeing a forced change to move staff further apart due to the current global pandemic.

Our services involve survey, architectural space planning, final design, construction and correct certification of all of the works. Projects often require reconfiguration of M&E services, as well as partitions and finishes but can also include addition of further services, requiring confirmation that the client infrastructure is able to support the proposed layout. Metropolitan are often appointed as Main Contractor / Principal Contractor / Principal Designer for these types of works, to allow us to manage all of the specialist services also involved such as sprinklers, fire alarms, IT, AV and Furniture.
