A complete design-and-build of every electrical and security system for a new farm shop and café — with no existing drawings to work from.
01 The brief
What made this
awkward.
To deliver a full design and build of all electrical and security systems for the new Dragonfly Farm Shop & Café in Speldhurst, Tonbridge. The client required a complete package – Electrical, Fire alarm, Data and Network, CCTV, Intruder alarm, Emergency lighting, and Sound system. There were no existing drawings, meaning all systems needed to be designed and installed from scratch while accommodating ongoing changes throughout the project.
