The Challenge

The challenge

The biggest task was managing a varied mix of doors across a large multi-level existing building.

Some areas remained live while others were handed over, so CJ had to adapt its sequencing while maintaining consistent installation standards and compliance evidence across different door types and locations.

Our Approach

Our approach

CJ broke the work into manageable floor and door-type sequences and maintained clear installation records as the works progressed.

This allowed the team to control quality across the mixed door schedule, work around live areas when necessary and close out the BM TRADA requirements efficiently.

Outcome

CJ successfully completed the fire-door and screen package and achieved the required BM TRADA sign-off.

The project demonstrates CJ Joinery Contracts' ability to manage complex, high-volume fire-door works across existing multi-storey buildings with mixed access conditions.
