Overview
A Heavy-Duty Transformation
Our team was tasked with the full debranding and strip-out of a unique, axe-throwing-themed restaurant and events venue in the heart of Bristol. This wasn’t a standard retail strip-out; the project required the decommissioning of a commercial kitchen and bar, alongside the deconstruction of “substantial” timber axe-throwing alleys.
Key complexities included:
The “300mm” Factor: The timber backing behind the targets was up to 300mm thick in places, requiring specialized cutting equipment and heavy-lifting protocols.
Logistical Bottlenecks: The property is situated on a primary Bristol thoroughfare. Compounded by nearby city-center road closures, access for waste removal and logistics was extremely restricted.
Rapid Mobilization: We were required to mobilize the entire project within a two-week window.
Our Approach
Leadership & Logistics
To ensure the project met its tight deadlines despite the logistical hurdles, our owner, Steven Green, took a hands-on approach. Steven led the CDM (Construction Design and Management) side of the project, coordinating the job directly on-site.
By working alongside our engineers and service partners, Steven was able to troubleshoot real-time challenges—such as the restricted access and heavy material handling—ensuring that safety and efficiency remained paramount.
”I believe in spending time on the ground with our team. It’s the only way to truly understand the technical challenges our engineers face and ensure we are delivering the best possible service to our clients.” — Steven Green
Sustainable Impact: Giving Back to Bristol.
At the core of this project was a commitment to the Bristol community. Rather than sending all materials to landfill, we successfully salvaged and repurposed various elements of the fit-out. These were donated to:
Local Schools: Providing materials for educational projects.
Fledgling Start-ups: Supporting new businesses with infrastructure and furniture.
The Result
Despite the structural and geographical challenges, the project was a resounding success:
Speed: Completed one week ahead of schedule.
Recognition: Highly commended by the client on LinkedIn for our professionalism and speed.
Future-Ready: The space has been successfully handed back, ready to be repurposed for a new chapter in the city we love.
