Gibb Group - Office & Workshop Refurbishment & Extension

This project showcases a complete refurbishment of a tired commercial building. Transforming it into a modern facility with an improved external appearance and internal alterations to create the required office, meeting and workshop spaces.

New cladding, windows and frontage was installed, enhancing the external appearance. The rear of the workshop was extended to the rear to create additional storage and workshop space, with a new mezzanine level providing further storage.

This move is part of Gibb Group expansion plans, which has allowed them to relocate from their previous King Street premises, to a new, larger facility in the Bridge of Don area of Aberdeen.
