Originally completed in 1902 by the local Arts and Crafts designer, C.F.A Voysey, Voysey House was designed and used as a wallpaper factory until a fire in an adjacent factory in 1928.
Since then, it has operated as offices and has undertaken several unsympathetic alterations over the years.
- Heritage cost management — providing full cost management services for the sensitive restoration and commercial upgrade of a listed building
- Expert heritage restoration — coordinating a team of specialist heritage consultants to remove unsympathetic alterations and reinstate historically accurate, high-quality finishes
- Grade A office upgrade — cost managing the transformation to premium Grade A workspace, improving the EPC rating from F to B
- Multi-stakeholder coordination — managing collaboration across the project team, heritage experts and local community to deliver a seamless restoration
This project required expert cost control advice due to the challenging heritage features. Upgrading the building will provide Grade A office space aiming to attract more local occupiers and benefiting the local economy. It will also upgrade the building’s EPC rating from F to B, making it more sustainable to operate.
CHP is proud to be involved in this project which is of significant local and historical interest.
