A Company Well Connected
The electrical fit-out for 63rd + 1st in Glasgow demonstrated HF’s ability to deliver high-specification hospitality environments through a “can-do” approach and seamless trade coordination. The project involved a comprehensive lighting transformation, where our team stripped out legacy systems and re-wired the venue to accommodate a modern, designer-led layout. By upgrading existing distribution boards with additional RCBOs to ensure full regulatory compliance and integrating contemporary USB and USB-C charging points throughout the public and staff areas, HF successfully balanced infrastructure reuse with cutting-edge functionality.
Our electrical team were contracted to carry out the electrical fit out for the restaurant 63rd + 1st located in Glasgow. The work also included alterations to existing fire alarm systems.
The existing lighting in the public areas of the restaurant were stripped out and our team installed additional wiring to facilitate additional new lighting points that were specified in the new interior design layout. We then fitted all new light fitments to the public areas and recommissioned the lighting control system.
We re-used the existing distribution equipment and dimming panels on this project and upgraded electrical equipment with additional RCBO’s (Power distribution and circuit protectors) to comply with current regulations.
On top of the noted upgrades, we also installed additional plug socket for the public and staff areas of the restaurant as per design drawings. All the new sockets came complete with USB and USB-C charging points.
Project Challenges: With multiple service contractors including our own electricians, as well as plumbers, tilers, joinery, decorating and flooring contractors; all present and all working in relatively small spaces and with a short time scale to complete the project, it can be challenging to coordinate our necessary electrical works alongside the other trades.
With such a rich history of working on restaurant and shop fittings in Glasgow in the past, the on- site teams have all worked together on similar projects which greatly assisted progress and communication. This allowed us to complete the required work to specification, on time and to the highest of standards.
