Summary:
This project comprised the construction of a new ten-screen cinema complex as an extension to an existing shopping centre. Metrics were engaged to provide Quantity Surveying services from inception though to completion.
The project was tendered using the Client’s Specialist Fitting-Out Contractors and was procured using the JCT Standard Building Contract Without Quantities (SBC/XQ 2011), with the works being completed within 5 months.
