In 2020 akp completed the refurbishment of McLellan Works. The building has 34,440 sq ft of mixed co-working space aimed at SME businesses. As testament to the high quality refurbishment of the first and third floors of McLellan Works akp thereafter secured several additional contracts within the building delivering CAT B and CAT A+ spaces as tenants began to move in.
As the lease on its current head office in Falkirk concluded Cala Homes were seeking a move closer to its core Glasgow and West of Scotland market, Cala therefore chose to take up residence within McLellan Works in the heart of Glasgow city centre.
The new 5,700 sq ft site on Sauchiehall Street sees the 100 plus workforce provided with a new blend of home and office working, with an office environment that encourages even more collaborative working and a sustainable travel to work ethos.
The project works comprise the following:
Glazed partitions.
Movable walls.
Raised access floors.
Acoustic ceiling/wall baffles.
Manufactured joinery.
Flooring.
Decoration.
M & E.
Door sets/ironmongery & kitchen units.
Operational Challenges; This fast track fit out was carried out within an existing live environment with adjacent offices on the same floor.
I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.
I would like to thank Martin McColl, Mark Smith and the team at akp for delivering the refurbishment at New Aspect House. Blantyre.
Started and completed during a global pandemic, its a project none of us will forget and it was not without it challenges.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
