Case Study: Calligaris
In this fitting-out project for this esteemed Italian brand, we ensured the precise delivery of technical drawings and aligned design approvals from all stakeholders, including the landlord, our project sponsor (the client), and Calligaris Italy. We also facilitated the proper integration of fire services and air conditioning, executed by the Nominated Sub-Contractors (NSC).
Here is a glimpse of what we have done:
-
Dismantling and Reconstruction: We dismantled and rebuilt the feature wall, ceiling, and lightbox.
-
Excavation and Construction: We conducted grouting and excavation for the new show window and constructed a new entrance step.
-
Waterproofing: We organized waterproofing for the shopfront.

Glass Façade Construction: We supplied and constructed aluminum profiles and frames for a 22mm thick glass façade.
-
Electrical and Mechanical Work: We supplied and installed electrical and mechanical systems, including MCBs.
-
Roller Shutter Installation: We supplied and installed a clear roller shutter.
