When
architects and contractors need a business they can trust to deliver
a value-added service on large or complex building projects, they
turn to Laidlaw Ironmongery’s Major Projects Division.
This
specialist division has a proven track record of successfully
completing work on landmark projects, including those in the
residential, commercial, healthcare and education sectors, ensuring
specifiers receive the best product for the given application.
Managing
Director Peter O'Brien said: “We’ve worked on many highly
prestigious schemes across the country and it is clear that our
commitment to providing a value-added service, on time and within
budget is a crucial factor when it comes to fitting out and
completion.
“Because
of our experience and attention to detail, we’ve developed strong
relationships with architects, main contractors, developers and
installers because they know we can be relied upon to achieve the
results they are looking for in their projects.”
The
expert Laidlaw team played a key role in the £180 million Fitzroy
Place development in the City of Westminster, London, providing a
range of premium ironmongery for the prestigious scheme, which is
built on the site of the former Middlesex Hospital and comprises
commercial office space, retail and restaurants, and 235 luxury
apartments.
Working
for Sir Robert McAlpine, Lifschutz
Davidson Sandilands Architects
and Sheppard Robson, the Major Projects Division delivered more than
£400,000 worth of stainless steel and real bronze ironmongery
through specialist joinery and fit-out contractor Houston Cox
Limited.
Peter
said: “As to be expected on a development of this scale and
calibre, there is no compromise on quality and we demonstrated yet
again that we have the capacity and expertise to deliver premium
products that enhance the overall aesthetic quality of the building.”
Other
work by Laidlaw’s Major Projects Division includes the supply of
performance doors and ironmongery to Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool. A
range of products, including door closers, mortice locks, lever
handles, digital locks and ancillaries, were included as part of the
£237 million scheme, while for x-ray areas of the hospital, Laidlaw
supplied nylon ironmongery because it offers exceptional levels of
strength and durability.
Laidlaw
was also involved in the development of One St Peter’s Square, the
prestigious Grade A commercial building in Manchester's central
business district. It supplied Glenn Howells Architects with
integrated ironmongery,
including lever handles made from grade 316 stainless steel. It also
worked with the architect to devise a high-security locking system.
