The Mewes & Davis building at 60 Bishopsgate, originally designed in 1924 by the architects behind the London Ritz, has undergone a stunning transformation into a modern workplace that carefully blends historic charm with contemporary functionality. The refurbishment delivered fully-fitted boutique offices, featuring marble and oak flooring, bespoke high-end furniture, advanced air conditioning systems, and enhanced end-of-journey facilities, including luxury showers and drying rooms, supporting tenant wellbeing and modern workplace standards.

The redevelopment aimed to respect the building’s heritage while integrating cutting-edge building services and ensuring long-term operational efficiency.

Buckler Environmental Services Limited led the electrical and mechanical services installation for the Level 6 refurbishment, as well as the replacement of building plant systems. They delivered a high-quality outcome that supports both the building’s heritage fabric and modern operational demands. Their attention to detail and collaborative approach made the project a pleasure to be involved in.

Our Services

Dewick & Associates provided comprehensive technical documentation, ensuring the building’s systems could be efficiently maintained, operated, and understood for years to come.

Our scope included:

• Mechanical and Electrical Services O&M Manuals- Full technical authoring of mechanical and electrical packages to support operational reliability.
• Preventative Maintenance Tools – Provision of log sheets, fault-finding processes, and guidance to support ongoing maintenance efficiency.
• Documentation Format – All manuals delivered in PDF and electronically enabling easy access, updates, and secure storage for building managers.
• Dedicated Client Coordination – A single point of contact to collate accurate technical data and ensure documentation was bespoke, practical, and tailored to the building’s unique systems.

Project Highlights

• Historic-Modern Integration: Manuals were written to support the operation of both original heritage systems and new installations.
• Tenant-Focused Guidance: Maintenance instructions and fault-finding processes were designed to be clear and actionable, supporting property managers and facilities teams.
• Operational Efficiency: Preventative maintenance schedules were embedded to support system lifespans and reduce downtime.
• Digital Accessibility: easy navigation, search functionality, and document control, giving teams confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the information.

Industry and Project Objectives

This project reflects broader trends in commercial office refurbishments, where combining heritage design with modern mechanical, electrical, and fire services is increasingly common. For contractors and project managers, robust documentation is critical to:

• Ensure compliance with safety and building regulations
• Support efficient building handover and operational continuity
• Mitigate risk during defects liability periods (DLP)
• Streamline future maintenance and facilities management

By providing detailed, accurate, and accessible documentation, D&A contributed to achieving these objectives while reducing risk and administrative burden for the contractor and client.
