As the principal contractor and project lead, MCUK provided full project management services across all phases of the scheme- from enabling works through to final fitout and handover. We oversaw the safe removal of all hazardous materials, including the coordination of licensed asbestos, waste segregation, and compliance with all environmental regulations. Our team led the complete strip-out of all legacy installations, coordinating demolition, temporary works, and enabling packages. This included the removal of decommissioned lifts, escalators, HVAC systems, and redundant MEP infrastructure, requiring careful sequencing and site-wide isolation plans. Two large-scale crane lifts were organised and managed to safely extract heavy rooftop plant without affecting the surrounding pedestrian areas or impacting neighbouring buildings.
During the construction and fit-out phases, our project managers worked closely with consultants, suppliers, and Frasers Group stakeholders to ensure system performance, compliance, and end-user expectations were met without compromise. A key aspect of our solution was managing the interface between the historic Compton House and the modern 1970s rear extension. We oversaw the restoration and replacement of over 1,100m² of Welsh slate roofing on the listed structure, as well as the installation of a 3,800m² flat roof system to the modern section. These works required extensive scaffold coordination, heritage approvals, and weather mitigation strategies, all delivered in line with programme targets.
By overseeing all trades, services, and stakeholder engagement, we successfully delivered a highly complex, multi-brand flagship store on time, to specification, and aligned with Frasers Group’s sustainability and operational targets.
