A CONSTRUCTION firm has been appointed to support the development of Lichfield’s new cinema.
The former Debenhams building in the Three Spires Shopping Centre is currently being converted to house the Everyman facility.
The development will also include food and drink outlets, including The Botanist, as well as a roof terrace, outdoor seating and public plaza.
Midlands firm The Construction Consultants have been brought on board to provide quantity surveying and agent services to see the scheme at the three-storey city centre site through to completion.
The company’s co-founder and director Alex Pimley said:
“We are delighted and honoured to have been appointed to this scheme that we know is very important to the people of Lichfield.
“The end result will be a vibrant hub for entertainment and socialising in heart of the city.”
Progressing …. completion Date in View ?
Bit late in the day now but the people wanted a cinema. Many empty places could have accommodated this. What we will (?) be getting is a consumer outlet of large propotions to compete with the many existing coffee outlets in the city. We seem disposed to creating problems of Friasgate size. I just hope that it will be an unlikely success.
It’s a boom time for consultants isn’t it?
Thought there didn’t seem much happening, except the scaffolding, thought it was all sorted, apparently not.
Perhaps we will get a completion date now
So let’s bring a company in that can advise on which companies can carry out the work without competition…. At the taxpayers expense!
Some of the comments here on this are ignorant of how the construction industry works. It is standard practice in the construction industry to appoint Quantity Surveyors for large projects. Alot of Quantity Surveyors work on a consultancy basis and are there to ensure the best value for their client, in this case LDC and us the taxpayer. Maybe before commenting some of you checked how the industry actually works before providing us with your expert insight on this project 🙄
The Council wont be as now before this project is ever completed – interesting. Seems to be not a lot happening to date
