Office Development
Kings Building, Church Street
This is a 6 storey office block. The substructure comprises a one storey basement with private parking using stackers. The total approx square footage of the building is, 301,400 ft2. The ground floor is 5m floor to floor and will be used as retail at the front facing areas. The floor to ceiling height for the rest of the building is 2.9m.
Located at the middle of the building is an old informal burial annex from famine times. This burial annex cannot be excavated by order of the D.C.C. Archaeologist. The Annex is 48m long and 13m wide, so we employed 3 No. 48m trusses here to span the building over this. The ground floor is approximately 250mm above the FGL of the burial ground and is supported off the bottom boom of the bottom truss. Each truss is 8m high and carries 2 No. floors.
The construction period for the entire build is 22 months with the façade, which is particularly complex taking up 50 weeks of that 22 months.
