Project
Attention to detail and quality were the main objectives of this project due to the building’s history and heritage listing.
Whytehall was involved with all carpentry works before our plasterers completed a very detailed job involving vaulted ceiling works, walls and finish off where existing services were situated. A lot of the work was carried out on scaffolding due to the extra high ceiling heights.
Whytehall also manufactured custom joinery that was also required for this project.
