Overview & Objectives

Located in Banbury, this project involved the complete transformation of a large industrial unit into a dual-purpose facility featuring a modern mezzanine level, precision workshop, and a suite of enclosed operational rooms. The client, a high-performance automotive manufacturer with exacting standards for functionality and technical precision, required a flexible layout suitable for precision engineering, clean processes, and automotive component assembly.

Ambrey Baker was appointed to deliver a turnkey construction package that encompassed both structural work and internal fit-out, executed to exacting industry standards.

Scope of Work

Mezzanine Structure & Access

• Design and installation of a heavy-duty steel mezzanine deck with high-load capacity.
• Fully fabricated steel staircase with safety railing and chequer plate treads.
• Edge protection and fall restraint barriers installed throughout the upper level.
• Anti-slip coating and clear ‘no step’ zones marked for operational safety.

Office & Workshop Construction

• New internal workshop and office pods constructed using white hygienic insulated panels.
• Double-glazed internal vision panels offering full visual access between areas.
• Strip lighting and electrical containment throughout the pod interiors.
• Multiple access points including sliding doors and secure personnel entrances.

Mechanical Workshop Zones

• Fit out of machining areas with fixed benching, lathe bays, and fabrication tools.
• Wall-mounted services including air lines and extraction ducts installed.
• Dedicated storage with integrated racking, tool drawers and lockable cabinets.

Logistics, Flow & Utility Connections

• Clear zones established for racking, storage, and access to loading bays.
• External door connections to accommodate logistics movements via HGVs and lifting gear.
• High-level LED lighting and reinforced power trunking routed through structural steels.
