Q: How will you manage dust mitigation and noise disruption?

Understandably, there will be some noise disruption during this period, initially with the erection of scaffolding.
Q: What measures will be put in place for tenants during the warmer months if windows cannot be opened due to the work?

All tenants and members will continue to have access to the reception, café, meeting room, co-working spaces and delivery lock-ups.
Access into the Block will be unaffected.

A: Please email info@debeauvoirblock.com and one of the team will be in touch.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
