Challenge
The project involved collaborative working with British Gypsum, Galliford Try, Benoy Architects, and acoustic consultants Hoare Lea for over two years. The collaboration started working with Galliford Try to develop a full drywall specification for the project when they were they were just bidding to secure the role of Main Contractor. Benoy, the architect appointed by the client, had only created a performance based specification and needed a specification based on actual systems to meet the required acoustic, fire, robustness and maximum heights. They wanted to be sure their costing were accurate, so called on British Gypsum for assistance, and the specification created by British Gypsum became part of Galliford Try’s tender submission.
