Commercial

• LocationOne Friary, Temple Quay, Bristol
• Environment typeFriary Quay Redevelopment commercial office environment directly opposite Bristol Temple Meads Station.
• Scope exposureInstaller-level involvement in heavy GRC panel installation, façade interfaces and coordination around glazing adjacency.
• Systems involvedGRC cladding panels, support bracket interfaces, stainless steel fixing zones and glazing adjacency details.
• Access / sequencing contextRestricted city-centre site conditions, crane-assisted lifting, radio coordination with the crane operator and tight access around the façade line.
• Installation challengesWorking with heavy GRC panels, limited line-of-sight during lifts, small installation tolerances and precise interface alignment.
