Fish Factory Re-roofing Works

The Fish Factory is a late 1930 built two storey steel framed building with roughcast rendered masonry structure and has a hipped roof of profiled asbestos cement. The majority of the ground floor area is raised approx. 900mm above finished wharf level, with a small loading bay area to the south elevation. The building has two existing staircases serving first floor level. Both exit to the south, one internal and one external. This building is currently used as KML HQ offices and storage at ground floor level and part cleared open space at the upper level - total floor area of approx. 915m2. The works will be phased to allow continued use of the ground floor space and then the first-floor space once completed. The upper level is essentially one open plan space open to the roof void. The building itself is located on a busy working wharf which will require careful consideration in the planning of the works. KML wishes to appoint a contractor to carry out the re-roofing work package on a supply & fit basis. Whilst there is a specification for these works, we welcome any suggestions with regards to more efficient solutions.
