THEINSTRUCTION
mwa role
We were commissioned to design, supply and install the complete plumbing and mechanical services package to this development. Engaging with mechanical & public health specialist consultants, we devised cost effective and efficient design strategies in each discipline. We have allocated the correct levels of qualified engineers to ensure we can deliver this scheme to the highest standard and inline with the fast paced build program.
Working closely with the Architects and the clients design team, MWA helped select a high-end bathroom specification which works perfectly in this modern development.
KEYCONSIDERATIONS
This site is situated in a very busy part of Manchester city centre. There are numerous large scale developments being carried out in close proximity to this site, so this project is quite challenging logistically by means of material deliveries and also parking.
