Office to Residential Conversion

Full design and build for the conversion of empty office space into 16 apartments across four storeys. Ideally situated in Woking town centre with great transport links into London, our brief from the Client was to create an ‘above average’ level of finish for a young professional target market. As well as conversion works, the project involved significant upgrades to the external façade including a replacement roof. Through attention to detail and careful material selection, we were able to complete this fast paced project to a high standard, resulting in all apartments being let within two weeks of completion.

Client Testimonial:

“I would recommend Cortec – they’re a great team to work with. Throughout the project it was very easy to work with them; rather than just coming up with problems, they actually had the solutions there before we needed to make a decision, which was great.”
