Yesterday the FMDC Ltd team enjoyed a tour of 81 Newgate Street, a ‘cut & carve’ scheme by KPF architects currently under construction, in which FMDC Ltd have been involved as façade consultants since early design stages and for which we are currently novated to Main Contractor Mace for the construction stages. FMDC Ltd‘s Lefteris Siamopoulos and Irene Mantovani took us through some of the intricacies and challenges of the cladding, which combines unitised curtain walling by Focchi Group and precast concrete cladding by Grants Group, faced with recycled stone from the previous BT headquarters building on this very site. The visit was an opportunity to enjoy some spectacular views of St Paul’s cathedral, as well as surrounding City of London and some of the projects FMDC Ltd are currently involved in, or have completed in the area. A very instructive and interesting tour and an opportunity to share ideas and experiences on site and on a real building, rather than on a screen in the office! Many thanks again to Mace for the invitation and to Anila Hadafmand in particular for taking us around.
