One Nine Elms, a landmark London development, features two impressive residential towers and a premium hotel. The 57-storey River Park Tower and the 42-storey Park Hyatt London River Thames Hotel and Residences are linked by a spectacular glazed bridge, allowing easy access to amenities. The lower levels of the Park Hyatt London River Thames Hotel and Residences house a lavish 203-room hotel equipped with top-tier amenities.
As one of the key sub-contractors to Multiplex for this iconic development managed by Excel Winner UK in London, Chiltern Contracts played a crucial role in the fit-out of the hotel’s bathroom areas from Level 3 to Level 16 at the Park Hyatt London River Thames Hotel and Residences as well as the Ambassador and Presidential Suites on Levels 17 and 18.
Our team provides a diverse range of services that go beyond stone and tile work. We have expertly screeded over 13,000 square meters, including the pool area. Furthermore, we took charge of the
design, engineering, manufacturing and installation of steel cantilevers that seamlessly bridged the gap between the concrete slab and the façade throughout the entire project. The metal cantilevers were specifically tailored to meet the project's unique requirements.
Our scope of work continued to waterproofing, floor levelling, flood testing of wet areas, and impeccable stone craftsmanship. Moreover, we were responsible for the templating, manufacturing, and installing of all shower screens on site. In addition to our accomplishments, we have successfully procured and managed over 20 different types of stone and tiles. We meticulously prepared dry-lays and renders for each stone item, ensuring accurate visualization of the final outcome. Furthermore, our team diligently produced detailed BIM & shop drawings for all our works, establishing us as the lead contractor within the bathroom package. On top of that, eight residential bathrooms between Levels 31 and 38 were screeded, waterproofed, and received free-issued stone installation. The task was completed effectively with a satisfactory outcome.
Our commitment is to deliver top-notch quality even in the most challenging timeframes. Just within a span of ten weeks, we efficiently executed stone works across levels 3 to 16, encompassing 203 guestrooms. This impressive achievement was facilitated by deploying up to 64 expert installers during peak periods, allowing us to speed up our workflow without sacrificing accuracy or craftsmanship. This evident efficiency, showcased through our ambitious project, signifies our team's ability to combine speed, skill, and elegance. We offer the promise of top-tier workmanship, the guarantee of outstanding quality, and the assurance of prompt delivery, every single time.
We also partnered with Mivan, Modular Interiors, Doug Phillips and Barr+Wray creating exquisite spaces within the Swimming Pool area, Wine Bar, Spa, and Gym. Upholding our commitment to quality, we not only executed the installation process but also took charge of the procurement and manufacturing of the stone for these areas. This comprehensive approach allowed us to maintain superior quality control at all stages. With detailed layout and design techniques at the core, we assure precision in every segment of our projects, thereby delivering the seamless finish that we are recognized for.
Moreover, we apply specialized techniques like decoupling membranes,
backer boarding, and waterproofing to create a solid base for our tiling work. These crucial steps ensure our exquisite tiles are laid on a sturdy and secure foundation, boosting the overall elegance and longevity of these spaces.
Throughout our latest assignment, we have successfully managed multiple packages simultaneously, maintaining high-end quality standards and ensuring consistent progress. This achievement is particularly significant given the diversity of fit-out contractors involved, each supported by a dedicated team from Chiltern Contracts. Our ability to work seamlessly with these esteemed partners has been crucial. Strong project management and a deep commitment to excellence have enabled us to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder projects effectively. By embracing a collaborative approach, we have not only upheld quality but also showcased our dedication to achieving outstanding results together.
Upon the practical completion of the project, Chiltern Contracts was honored with the 'Overachiever Award' at the One Nine Elms Project Awards 2024. This prestigious recognition underscores our relentless hard work and commitment over the past four years, making us the sole firm to receive this accolade among nearly 200 subcontractors. This award serves as a testament to our team's dedication, covering every phase from design and procurement to delivery, and reinforces our reputation for excellence in delivering top-tier workmanship and outstanding quality, even under the most challenging timeframes.
