Leigh Sports Centre

The works were critically phased in three sections. The first was the remodelling and refurbishment works on the ground floor. This was followed by the construction of a temporary fitness suite on the first floor, and thirdly the construction of a new fitness suite on the first floor.

The construction works included the demolition of existing, and construction of new partition walls, and the blocking of existing doorways and forming of new ones. It also included the installation of new doors, mechanical and electrical services installations, and painting and decorating throughout the leisure centre.

The project was completed on programme, in 22 weeks, within budget and with minimal disruption in a live, occupied, public facing environment.

Ongoing communication with the client and building users was key to its success, and construction project newsletters were used to communicate forthcoming activities and project progress to building users and neighbouring properties.
