1
What mattered

A complex lighting upgrade, three new pendant fittings on a new rigging structure, had to be completed inside a strict six-week parliamentary break, in a heritage chamber with an inaccessible roof space and protected fittings, fixtures and finishes.

2
What we did

The program was timed to the parliamentary break, heritage fabric was protected while new cable runs were integrated, a complex external scaffold was engineered to reach the inaccessible roof, and specialist subcontractors were project managed across the works.

3
What it achieved

The chamber was finished, clean and working when Parliament returned, and the project led directly to ongoing heritage carpentry work at Parliament.
