Silverbirches Wins FMB

We have won the Federation of Master Builders National Award for the best Commercial Project 2017!

The ceremony was held at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel in London on Friday 15th September, and was a night we had been eagerly awaiting since winning the Northern Ireland (Regional) awards in April this year.

Undertaking work on an operating ‘live’ hotel seemed like a daunting prospect but we relished the challenge and pulled off a redevelopment worthy of the FMB National title. The brief set by the Silverbirch Hotel was for a renovation which would make them the number one choice in Northern Ireland for weddings and business functions and the project was carried out in the very high risk environment of an operational hotel. Risks were identified, managed and controlled proactively by the Lowry Building & Civil Engineering team, allowing the hotel to continue to operate without affecting guests whilst still providing the highest quality, bespoke build for the client.

The Doyen Reopening

We have completed the multi-million refurbishment to Belfast’s newest pub, The Doyen which was formally called the King’s Head.

The Doyen features a traditional public bar serving a gastropub menu with a large outdoor seating area, a cafe bar and a family-friendly, Italian-themed restaurant upstairs called Morso with private rooms catering for parties up to 140. A secret snug bar for 30 guests is also provided and specialises in crafted coffee, brunch and prosecco, gin and cocktails.

The £1.4m project required the complete strip out of the existing premises and major structural alterations to accommodate the new vision by hospitality group Wine Inns, who also own a string of Belfast pubs including The Empire, the Alibi club and The Chelsea.
