Punch Taverns £5m Refurbishment

EP Consulting successfully executed a £5 million refurbishment project for Punch Taverns, revitalising over 30 sites across the UK. This five-year initiative transformed traditional pubs into modern, vibrant spaces, enhancing customer experiences while preserving the unique character of each establishment.

Scope of Work

Our team conducted detailed feasibility studies and budget costing, providing comprehensive mechanical and electrical design services. The project involved upgrading HVAC systems, installing energy-efficient lighting, and modernising plumbing and electrical systems to meet contemporary standards. We ensured compliance with Part L2 Building Regulations through SBEM (Simplified Building Energy Model) calculations and thermal modelling to enhance energy efficiency across all locations.

Challenges and Solutions

The primary challenge was refurbishing multiple sites within very challenging timescales. EP Consulting addressed this by implementing strategic scheduling and phased construction plans, allowing each location to remain operational during renovations. Our team’s expertise enabled us to tailor refurbishments to the specific needs and architectural features of each site, balancing modern functionality with historic charm.

Results and Impact

The refurbished Punch Taverns sites now offer inviting and efficient environments, attracting patrons with their modern amenities and updated interiors. EP Consulting’s commitment to sustainable design practices ensured that each site met energy efficiency goals, reduced operational costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction. This project underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality refurbishment solutions that honour the heritage and individuality of each establishment.
