Office Extension and Refurbishment

This project involved a two storey extension to a former education centre, adjacent to Guildford Cathedral, and a full refurbishment to provide new and improved offices for the Diocese of Guildford. Following the completion of the shell and core and the strip out of the existing building, there was a full internal fitout scheme that provided our client with a much needed, modern and vibrant office environment.

Client Testimonial:
“It was a real pleasure working with Cortec, there was just a good collaboration right from the beginning with the Rose family who run and operate Cortec and with the Site Manager Kevin. They almost became friends. It was such a pleasure to work with them. I’d happily recommend Cortec to other companies.”
