Key Activities
Triora Group successfully delivered a comprehensive summer turnaround painting programme across multiple Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) sites. The project was designed to refresh and restore accommodation units, communal areas, and circulation spaces during the limited summer vacancy period, ensuring all properties were presented to the highest standard ahead of student arrivals.
Through careful planning, efficient resource management, and close collaboration with site teams, the programme achieved a significant improvement in the appearance, cleanliness, and overall condition of the accommodation portfolio whilst working within strict programme deadlines.
Student accommodation experiences significant wear and tear throughout the academic year. High occupancy levels, frequent room turnover, and general daily use often result in marked walls, damaged paintwork, scuffs to corridors, and deterioration in communal spaces.
The client required a trusted contractor capable of delivering large-scale decoration works within a compressed summer turnaround period. The challenge was to complete the programme efficiently whilst maintaining quality standards, minimising disruption to concurrent maintenance activities, and ensuring all rooms were ready for incoming students on schedule.
First impressions play a vital role in attracting and retaining residents. Worn or damaged paintwork can negatively impact the perception of accommodation quality and lead to increased tenant complaints. Site surveys identified numerous areas requiring attention, including accommodation bedrooms, kitchens, communal areas, stairwells, corridors, and high-traffic locations where surfaces had become tired or damaged.
Triora Group developed a structured summer decoration programme tailored to the specific requirements of each site. Detailed condition surveys were completed to identify priority areas, enabling resources to be allocated effectively across multiple buildings.
The works included surface preparation, filling and repairing minor defects, sanding damaged areas, stain blocking where required, and the application of high-quality commercial paint systems. Decoration works were completed to walls, ceilings, woodwork, and communal spaces using durable products selected for longevity and ease of maintenance.
Dedicated project managers oversaw delivery throughout the programme, coordinating decoration works alongside cleaning, maintenance, compliance inspections, and room reinstatement activities to ensure seamless completion within the available timeframes.
