Read MoreMost CGA projects take place in buildings that stay in use. Schools keep teaching, churches keep holding services and, at the Officers' Mess at Brompton Barracks, events and lunches carried on while the team worked on the roof. Refurbishing an occupied building means controlling noise, dust and access, agreeing lifting plans and keeping everyone informed. For the client, it means the building never has to close.
Read MoreCGA joined Holy Trinity Clapham at the weekend to mark the church's 250th birthday. The occasion included two services, music, prayer, children's activities and food. The on-site team worked hard over recent weeks to bring the building to partial possession in time. The Revitalise 250 project covers the extension and internal refurbishment of the 18th-century church, including new extensions to the north and south elevations and specialist works to the Narthex, Nave, Gallery and Chancel. Further celebrations continue over the coming week.
Read MoreCGA has been appointed to carry out significant roof repairs and upgrades to the Officers' Mess at Brompton Barracks in Chatham, a Grade II listed building within an active military site. Getting onto the roof required the installation of a 59-tonne crane, preceded by a full structural assessment, method statement and lift plan. Works include lead and slate roof repairs, valley and parapet gutter replacements and structural remediation. Delivering this on a heritage building inside a functioning military establishment requires precise planning and close coordination with the site authority.

Works include M&E replacement, new finishes and fit-out, and upgrades to front-of-house areas. The programme is sequenced closely with the hotel operations team.

Read MoreCGA attended MIPIM 2026 in Cannes, the international property industry's flagship annual event. For a London-based contractor, it is less about global deals and more about maintaining relationships with the clients, consultants and developers shaping the built environment in and around the capital. A useful week, with a clearer picture of where the market is heading.
