The development
The centre occupies a small part of the building’s basement. It provides a prayer space alongside a contemplation space and a seminar room for local community groups.
S&M is responsible for the electrical package described here, not the wider development.
Coordination
The design developed during construction. A design team mark-up increased the number of smoke control and fire dampers needing a supply from 5 to 22. We priced and programmed the extra supplies as a variation, run in fire-resistant cable.
A new reception area added a distribution board fed from the centre’s switchroom. We installed the submain and board so the reception’s final circuits, already in our package, could follow.
Our scope
- 01Main LV distribution.
- 02Supply and installation of lighting, first and second fix.
