Valspar: Paint Unit Installation

Summary Bluestones One Installation team is proud to have supported Valspar Paint with their new paint unit rollout across 60 UK stores. Challenges Each store could only be completed in a single overnight installation, so the logistical planning of the project was essential. Prior visits to the stores also had to be scheduled in to ensure the sites were ready and the areas were clear before the teams arrived to complete the installation. The Bluestones One Installation team also had to compete with schedule changes, having to adapt quickly to ensure the project stayed on time and to budget. Results The whole project took a total of 3 weeks, with 20 stores completed a week using 4 teams across the country. By understanding and adhering to bespoke risk assessment and method statements, the Installation team delivered the project within budget with a 100% success rate on the completed install at each site.
