Barbican Renewal Programme - Interior Joinery, Doors and Fit-out Supply and Installation

This is a major package for the supply and installation of interior finishes and fittings across multiple areas of the Barbican Centre. The scope includes internal doors (fire-rated, acoustic, heritage timber and glazed), door hardware, fitted joinery, partitions, ceilings, floor and wall finishes, fitted furniture and sanitaryware. Work areas include the Foyers, Conservatory, Art Gallery Foyers, Catering Block, Stair 8, and Infrastructure, with provisional areas for Staff Spaces, Creative Studios and Fire Door Projects. The work is a mix of new construction, bespoke design and heritage refurbishment. Key elements include specialist timber work (particularly elm), brass metalwork, fire-resistant doorsets with third-party certification, and heritage finishes such as clay paving, woodblock flooring and decorative glazing. The contractor is responsible for technical design and detailed specifications working from the design team's performance requirements, including shop drawings, fire assessments, mock-ups (especially for elm joinery and finishes), and as-built documentation. Some finishes such as floors, walls and paint are fully prescribed by the design team. Coordination with the MEP contractor is required for electrical and mechanical elements integrated into joinery and doors.
