The Bristol Old Vic theatre is the oldest continuously-operating theatre in England, and was extensively refurbished in September 2012. MJ Rees provided engineering and measured building survey services for the refurbishment, including setting-out of level datums, grid lines, lift shafts and the location of critical structural elements, as well as survey of existing and built structural elements.
Our surveyors were involved with the project at all phases, building up a good working relationship with the contractors. The works were successfully completed and we have gone on to provide similar services at the Gainsborough Hotel, another complex site, in Bath for the same contractors.
