The project story in more detail.
98 High Street, Acton involved converting upstairs office space into a two-bedroom flat and constructing a two-storey extension at the back of the property.
Project context
The important part of this case study is the setting around the work: the building type, the client requirement, the access conditions and the level of finish expected at handover.
The works required transformation of office space into a functional residential unit while increasing retail space and improving accommodation for the first floor.
The project needed structural modifications, integration of new services including boiler and electrical connections, fresh water supply routing through the operational estate agency below and tight high-street access management.
How the work was approached
The work was treated as a sequence of connected decisions rather than separate trade tasks. Planning, ordering, site access, supervision and finish standards all needed to line up so that each stage supported the next.
Imogen Construction converted the upstairs office into a two-bedroom flat and added a two-storey extension to the rear of the property.
The team coordinated structural work, service routes, residential fit-out and access around the active commercial setting below.
Outcome
The project delivered a two-bedroom flat and extended retail space, completing on schedule and to the client's specifications.
It contributed to Acton High Street's urban development while balancing functionality and sustainability.
The project highlights experience in complex conversions where new residential accommodation must be created above or alongside an operational commercial environment.
