The Brief
The Solution
The Outcome
Through careful planning and coordination of multiple specialist work packages, the refurbishment must be delivered to a high standard, improving both operational efficiency and the long-term value of the asset.
Quality control, efficient management and keeping on budget were critical
Through early engagement and close collaboration with the building surveyor, we developed a clear and well-defined scope of works that aligned with the client’s objectives, budget, and programme requirements. This proactive approach enabled key project decisions to be made at an early stage.
Working collaboratively throughout the design and delivery process, we identified opportunities to maximise value, improve efficiency, and future-proof the asset for incoming occupiers.
By maintaining open communication and a solutions-focused approach, the project team was able to respond effectively to challenges while maintaining momentum and quality standards.

Close collaboration with subcontractors, suppliers, consultants, and the client team was essential to maintain clear communication and ensure project objectives were achieved.
The project successfully delivered a fully refurbished industrial facility with enhanced operational functionality, improved energy performance, and upgraded workplace environments. Key improvements included modern building services, improved logistics access, upgraded loading facilities, and a refreshed external appearance, increasing both the usability and long-term value of the asset.
Throughout the project, a number of programme challenges were encountered, including nesting birds which impacted certain phases of the external works and required careful sequencing and compliance with environmental constraints. In addition, the scope of works was continually evolving due to ongoing client-driven changes and requests. These adjustments required proactive management to ensure that programme implications and budget considerations were clearly communicated and understood.
This evolving scope had to be carefully coordinated with the wider supply chain, with works resequenced and resources reallocated where necessary to maintain progress and minimise disruption. Regular communication and close collaboration with subcontractors and suppliers were essential to managing expectations and maintaining programme certainty.
Through careful coordination of multiple specialist work packages, the development was completed to a high standard, providing a modern industrial space ready to meet the needs of future occupiers.
"Woodfellows worked with T J Elsdon on a substantial refurbishment of a circa 70k sqft unit in Nottingham split over two blocks pn a large city centre site. The project involved remodelling works to the unit along with refurbishments to the external fabric of the building which included extensive cladding repairs, new dock levellers and recoating of the roof. Internally the comprehensive refurbishment included full M&E upgrade works throughout with a focus on ESG. Due to the nature of the project, there were challenges that arose along the way, but T J Elsdons were quick to react to these challenges and present solutions to everything thrown at them. The site was well managed throughout with a key emphasis on Health & Safety enabling the project to complete on time and within budget."
