McGregor Projects is delivering electrical upgrade works for Blackwood at Laura Ferguson Court and Abbey Court, carefully planned and executed within fully occupied residential environments. The scope includes the replacement and rationalisation of distribution boards, containment and wiring improvements, and upgrades to small power, lighting, and life-safety systems such as emergency lighting and alarms. As the works progress, finishes are reinstated to a high standard with discreet surface treatments and colour-matched containment to preserve a homely feel throughout corridors and apartments.
To ensure minimal disruption for the care staff, residents and visitors, the programme has been sequenced block-by-block and zone-by-zone to minimise disruption, with intrusive activities scheduled during short, pre-agreed windows and temporary supplies maintained to ensure residents are never without essential power. Resident liaison is central to delivery, with clear advance communication, door-to-door briefings where required, and a dedicated point of contact for queries. Safeguarding and access protocols are rigorously followed to ensure vulnerable residents and care staff can move safely through the building at all times. Dust and noise controls, clean routes, and rapid reinstatement further reduce the visual and acoustic impact of the works.
