Commercial investment for client, designed and supervised on site, incorporating a convenience store and 2 two bedroom flats.

New site, Dyce, Aberdeen.

The client is an engineering and hydraulics supply company.

The brief set by the client was to seek out a site exceeding two acres and up to one hectare in or near their client’s current office and workshop complex in the Dyce area and preferably on the Kirkhill Industrial Estate.

We had to negotiate the site acquisition in terms of either a leasehold or freehold agreement, provide a list of dilapidations and survey the site for suitability. 

The site found required the removal of existing buildings, ground surveys and contamination investigations, to ensure the cost effectiveness relative to the construction costs.

From there we designed an office and workshop forming the new corporate headquarters of the company with storage facilities.

The office has built to energy efficiency requirements ahead of current legislation and is state of the art within the workshops. Services include ventilation, computer links, gas and compressed air lines throughout and two overhead cranes.

The area is landscaped in accordance with legislation and to be environmentally friendly with the north side of the site left as an area of biodiversity.

Convenience Stores & Flats.

This site already existed as a small shop and the brief given by the client required the demolition of the building and construction of a convenience store and two flats on the restricted site while increasing the shop sales area by 50%. The shop incorporated the local Post Office and that had to remain in operation.

The client agreed to install a portable building within the car park and the reconstruction works were carried out from the rear of the site.

The building is a traditional structure to first floor and capped with Bison prestressed units and the first floor containing the two two bedroomed flats is of a timber kit construction partly within the roof and accessed from a rear staircase.

The condition of construction was that the demolition and reconstruction of the new store would be complete for opening and the flats let within six months.
