Barratt – Townsend House
London
The aim of this project was to refurbish the external façades of Townsend House in line with the recommendations of a FRAEW report and to achieve an EWS1 B1 rating. The scope included replacing Category 3 ACM cladding with a non-combustible alternative and installing compliant cavity barriers to enhance fire safety performance.
Baily Garner was appointed to provide pre- and post-contract services including project management, quantity surveying, and quality control inspection (QCI).
Our team assessed the client’s brief, produced tender documentation and managed the full tender process. We reviewed tender returns, advised on contractor appointment, and prepared contract documentation. As part of the PCSA, we oversaw development of the detailed design for the main works.
During the main contract stage, we project managed works on site, holding weekly client meetings and monthly progress meetings with the wider project team. Our QCI team carried out weekly inspections, managed handover, and supported the client with final documentation uploads to their data portal.
The project was successfully completed in January 2025, with high-quality delivery and positive feedback from the client team.
