Description
We recently completed the M&E services refurbishment of a 116 room hotel and public areas at The Crowne Plaza hotel, part of the IHG (Intercontinental Hotel Group) in East Grinstead for main contractors Murray & Willis Ltd.

The first phase of the project was to completely strip out and then fully refurbish M&E services to the Jarvis Suite. This consisted of thirty bedrooms where new air conditioning was introduced and it was all completed in five weeks whilst the hotel remained fully operational. In addition, fire strategy works were updated throughout the hotel, including fire detection.

We then moved onto the second phase of the project which involved the complete re wire of eighteen bedrooms, with a light refurbishment of the bathrooms. This phase was completed in three weeks.

Phase three comprised of the public area refurbishment which included the restaurant, bar, lounge and reception which took six weeks in total. To achieve this we worked with the hotel setting up temporary restaurants, reception area and temporary lounge areas, whilst still maintaining the use of the remaining conference facilities.

Following major demolition works and reconfiguration of the areas, all new mechanical and electrical services were updated with the introduction of new AV and a Bose music system.

In the reception area, we undertook the installation of a new reception desk and lighting.
