CUPP Blackburn: commercial fit-out structural package

A commercial fit-out in Blackburn taken from existing-condition survey through to a modelled proposed scheme with full internal elevation sets.

Sector Commercial fit-outLocation Blackburn, EnglandPeriod 2022
The brief

What the project needed.

A commercial unit being reconfigured, requiring the existing structure to be recorded accurately before the proposed layout could be designed and coordinated.

Work carried out

  • Existing floor plan survey drawings
  • Proposed floor plan design
  • External elevation drawings
  • Internal elevation sets across two sheets
  • 3D model of the proposed scheme
  • Coordinated draft pack for review
The engineering

What cupp, blackburn actually involves.

Fit-out work in an existing commercial unit lives or dies on the accuracy of the existing-condition drawings. What is recorded as a partition is sometimes carrying load, and what is assumed to be structural sometimes is not. The existing floor plans were produced first and the proposed layout designed against them.

Internal elevations were issued across two sheets because a fit-out is defined as much by its vertical surfaces as its plan. That level of internal detail is what allows a contractor to price accurately rather than allow for uncertainty.

A 3D model was produced alongside the drawn set, which is worth doing where a client needs to understand a scheme before committing to it.
