Overview

Located at 100 Victoria Street in the heart of Bristol’s rapidly evolving Temple Quarter, this Cat B office refurbishment formed part of the fit-out of one of the city’s newest and most prestigious commercial developments. Positioned within the Temple Meads and Temple Gate regeneration area, the building represents a key component of Bristol’s future city centre, providing high-quality office accommodation designed to attract modern businesses and professional occupiers.

Our role on the project was to deliver a comprehensive package of decoration works across multiple floors, ensuring a high-quality finish that complemented the building’s contemporary design while meeting the expectations of a premium commercial environment.

The Challenge

As a flagship office development within a prominent regeneration zone, the project demanded exceptional attention to detail and a consistently high standard of workmanship throughout.

The works were carried out across several occupied and newly completed areas, requiring careful planning, coordination with other trades, and strict adherence to programme deadlines. Achieving a seamless finish across both existing and newly constructed surfaces was essential to maintaining the overall design intent and delivering a workplace environment ready for tenant occupation.

Additional challenges included:

  • Maintaining consistency of finish across multiple floors.
  • Working around ongoing fit-out activities and trade interfaces.
  • Delivering decorative finishes within a tight project programme.
  • Ensuring durability and quality suitable for high-traffic commercial areas such as staircases and lift lobbies.

Scope of Works

The decoration package covered Levels 1, 2 and 3, together with all associated staircases and lift lobby areas.

Works included:

  • Preparation and decoration of existing wall surfaces.
  • Preparation and decoration of existing woodwork.
  • Decoration of newly constructed partition walls.
  • Application of specified coatings and finishes throughout office spaces.
  • Decoration of communal circulation areas, including stairwells and lift lobbies.
  • Final snagging, quality inspections and touch-up works prior to handover.

All surfaces were thoroughly prepared to ensure optimum adhesion, durability and visual appearance. Particular care was taken to achieve clean lines, uniform coverage and a premium finish throughout the development.

Delivery

Working closely with the principal contractor and wider project team, our operatives coordinated activities to ensure works progressed efficiently and in line with the overall construction programme.

A structured quality-control process was implemented throughout the project, with regular inspections undertaken to maintain consistency across all floors and communal areas. Detailed planning and sequencing allowed decoration works to be completed with minimal disruption to other trades while ensuring deadlines were met.

The project team remained focused on delivering a high-specification finish befitting a landmark office development in one of Bristol’s most significant commercial districts.

Results

The completed decoration works contributed to the successful transformation of the building into a modern, high-quality workplace environment. The finished spaces provide bright, professional and welcoming interiors that support the building’s premium positioning within Bristol’s commercial market.

Key outcomes included:

  • High-quality decorative finishes delivered across three office floors.
  • Consistent standards maintained throughout all areas.
  • Successful completion in accordance with programme requirements.
  • Enhanced aesthetic appeal supporting the building’s premium office offering.
  • Durable finishes suitable for long-term commercial use.

Conclusion

The Cat B office refurbishment at 100 Victoria Street showcases our ability to deliver large-scale commercial decoration projects within prestigious developments. Through meticulous preparation, skilled workmanship and close collaboration with the wider construction team, we successfully delivered a high-quality finish that complements one of Bristol’s newest landmark office buildings and supports the continued growth of the Temple Quarter business district.
