Key Activities
Triora Group successfully delivered a comprehensive cluster refurbishment programme within a Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) scheme in Bradford. The project focused on renewing key furniture and soft furnishings throughout bedrooms and communal living areas, ensuring the accommodation remained attractive, functional and aligned with modern student expectations.
The programme included the replacement of office chairs, mattresses, communal kitchen sofas, curtains and bar stools, providing a significant uplift in both appearance and comfort. All works were carefully planned and completed within the available turnaround period to ensure residences were fully prepared for incoming students.
Following several years of occupancy, furniture and furnishings throughout the accommodation had experienced significant wear and tear. Mattresses showed signs of ageing, desk chairs had become worn and damaged, whilst communal furniture no longer reflected the standards expected within a competitive student accommodation market.
The client required a partner capable of delivering a large-scale replacement programme across multiple clusters whilst maintaining programme certainty, quality control and minimal disruption to other turnaround and maintenance activities.
Student accommodation experiences higher levels of usage than many residential environments, resulting in accelerated deterioration of furniture and fittings. Worn mattresses, damaged seating and dated soft furnishings can negatively impact resident satisfaction and first impressions when prospective students view accommodation.
Triora Group developed a structured refurbishment programme tailored specifically to the client's operational requirements and occupancy deadlines. The scope of works included the coordinated removal and disposal of existing furniture together with the supply and installation of new mattresses, ergonomic office chairs, contemporary sofas for communal kitchens, replacement curtains and upgraded bar stools.
All furniture and furnishings were selected to provide durability, comfort and ease of ongoing maintenance whilst complementing the existing accommodation design. Dedicated project management ensured efficient coordination of deliveries, installation teams and quality inspections, allowing the programme to be completed safely and efficiently within the required timeframe.
