CapitalPCC were appointed by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea to deliver the refurbishment of 116 Edith Grove, one of several residential properties acquired to provide additional accommodation. Following the termination of the previous contractor’s appointment, which left the property partially refurbished, Capital was selected to take control of the project, assess the existing work, and deliver a safe, compliant and high-quality residential refurbishment.

Initial surveys identified significant structural, fire safety and construction defects, with much of the existing work failing to meet the required standards. What began as a refurbishment developed into a major reconstruction project, requiring substantial strip-out works before new walls, floors, roof elements and building services could be installed. These findings fundamentally reshaped the scope of works and the delivery strategy.

CapitalPCC provided a fully integrated multidisciplinary service. Working closely with RBKC, our team carried out detailed surveys, developed revised designs, prepared tender documentation, procured the contractor and managed the works through to completion. Careful commercial management ensured programme, cost and quality were maintained throughout delivery.

The completed refurbishment transformed 116 Edith Grove into a modern, safe and fully compliant residential building capable of providing high-quality accommodation for residents in the Borough. The project demonstrates CapitalPCC’s ability to recover complex refurbishment projects and successfully deliver multidisciplinary services from investigation through to completion.
