Working around live operations

Refurbishment without losing control of the building

Occupied projects require more than a construction programme. KRP plans the work around building users, critical access routes, safeguarding requirements and the client’s operational priorities.

Phased Delivery

Work areas and handovers are sequenced so the wider building can continue to operate wherever the agreed scope permits.

Segregation & Access

Site boundaries, delivery routes and working zones are agreed before mobilisation and managed throughout the programme.

Direct Communication

A clear point of contact coordinates programme changes, building-user requirements and day-to-day decisions.

Project evidence

Relevant KRP experience

KRP delivered a three-floor CAT A refurbishment in Winchester over a phased 12-week programme. In education, our Bordon refurbishment was planned around half-term periods, while the Bourne Academy window upgrade was delivered for an occupied secondary-school environment.

Delivery process

How an occupied project is planned

  1. Survey and operational briefing – identify occupied areas, critical access, working-hour constraints and client priorities.
  2. Phasing and controls – agree work zones, segregation, deliveries, noisy works and planned handovers.
  3. Managed delivery – coordinate progress and building-user requirements through a clear point of contact.
  4. Handover – complete walkthrough, snagging and agreed completion documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a building remain operational during refurbishment?

Often, yes. The viable approach depends on the scope, access and safety requirements. KRP surveys the site and agrees a phased programme before work begins.

How are building users separated from the works?

Work zones, site boundaries, access routes and delivery arrangements are agreed during planning and managed throughout the programme.

Can disruptive work be scheduled outside normal hours?

Where the project and building allow, disruptive activities can be programmed around agreed operational windows.

Which areas does KRP cover?

KRP delivers projects across Hampshire, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, West Sussex, East Sussex and Dorset.
