Stace worked closely with the project manager and design team to agree a scope of works for the second and third floor bar and restaurant. This met the club’s requirement of a high quality restaurant and bar, yet remained within a tight budget.

Budget aside, one of the main challenges of this project was carrying out extensive refurbishment works within such a prestigious setting while the club remained open to guests and members.

Temporary dining and kitchen areas were created, and the contractor and club maintained daily contact to establish if any noisy or disruptive works were to be carried out and to what time frame. This allowed the project team to keep up to date with the project and permitted the club to give members and guests plenty of notice of disruption during the day. Scheduling and constant communication was particularly important as no noisy works (which could cause inconvenience to members staying at the club) were permitted ‘out-of-hours’.
