Project Overview

KpH delivered strip out and enabling works at 1 Appold Street, a 190,000 sq ft commercial property in the City of London. The 22-week project formed part of a wider redevelopment strategy and required delivery in a busy, congested environment.

Appold St Exchange Square

Project Requirements

Full internal soft strip back to the structural frame across all floors, including removal of partitions, ceilings, M&E services, and tenant installations. Essential systems were retained and protected throughout. Sustainable material diversion and reuse were maximised and integrated into the delivery.

 

Project Challenges

  • Piloting the SAS International ceiling tile take back scheme.
  • Sustainability targets added complexity, requiring early collaboration with reuse networks and manufacturers.

Project Outcomes

Integrating reuse and take-back schemes from the start improves sustainability outcomes.
