Key Challenges

Dingwall Town Hall is a listed building and the internal layout proved challenging, in terms of where the lift could be located.

Due to the existing construction of the property, the new first floor landing had to be fire rated to comply with Building Regulations.

The project took place during the Covid-19 pandemic, with associated restrictions on social distancing and essential travel.
