The Theatre for Performing Arts, Liverpool, recently opened by Paul McCartney, was a challenge when it came to ironmongery. The architect, Brock Carmichael Associates, realised that with over 300 doors including acoustic, timber, uPVC, reproduction and so forth, special care would have to be taken to ensure all ironmongery was compatible in each instance.

Also, a mix of various manufacturers' products was required which could not necessarily be sourced most competitively from one supplier. AHC was engaged to write specifications using products from 'Elementer' and other ranges. These were then sourced through Elementer and a local ironmongery supplier by split orders.

Mowlem Construction considered the Theatre of the Arts in Llandudno an ideal project to use the services of AHC, which was to liaise with architect Ellis Williams Partnership, and produce a door-by- door computerised schedule of ironmongery for some 200 doors.

At the request of contractors Balfour Beatty Construction and architects RMJM London Ltd the services of AHC were engaged for the procurement of ironmongery on the prestigious Lincoln University Complex involving stainless steel fittings to many types of door.

Following the successful completion of the Velodrome project Amec called on the services of Don Lund to help overcome what was a difficult situation on the Liverpool Womens Hospital project.

Unfortunately the ironmongery supplier on the £25M development went into receivership part way through the contract and, with supplies made using that ironmongers references, this created problems.

AHC was engaged to identify ironmongery and form schedules to complete the project. Competitive tenders were obtained and supply was then completed on time with AHC again acting as liaison.
