Andrews and Andrews Solicitors contacted Fingerprintstudios Architects about gaining Listed Building Consent as well as a change of use planning application to enable the Grade 2 Listed building refurbishment to take place.

Fingerprintstudios assisted Andrews and Andrews Solicitors from concept to completion, through the Statutory Applications, contract information, tender action and tender negotiation and on site contract management.

The site was previously home to Sue Fosters Interiors and was a very tired building.

A complete upgrade and overhaul of the building was undertaken to bring the Grade 2 Listed building refurbishment upto modern standards.

Internally during the course of the refurbishement historic naval timbers where found, rotten floor joists and historic well where found, recorded and reported to the Listed Buildings Officer before the sensitive refurbishment was underway.

A complete review and survey of the structure was prepared and consultation with the Local Authorities Listed Buildings Officer enabled us to remove internal walls and floors and provide a new internal layout to create the new office.

The tired  building was in need of repair and an overhaul to bring it to modern standards through a mix of traditional and modern architecture methods.
