Merchiston House Boarding School

In March 2022, we were appointed on a 2 stage basis to the full refurbishment of the East and West Wing of Merchiston Castle School, to strip, replace, upgrade and fit out the residential blocks for the boarding pupils. The works included downtakings, structural works to form new rooms, new floors, wall and ceiling finishes, as well as a full FF&E fit out with bespoke joinery, M&E replacement and upgrade and works to the external courtyard. The building was constructed in 1929 and is B Listed, therefore required extensive surveys throughout the pre-construction period for M&E, dilapidations, fire protection and demolition. Due to the school bring live throughout the works and a large majority of pupils in residence, the team have worked tirelessly since March 2022 to ensure the safety and security of all pupils is the utmost priority.  The works were successfully completed on time and handed over in time for the new term starting after the summer holidays in August 2023.
