PolandPolandCompany Name: GRUPA BESKID Janusz i Krystian Dybek

Project description

The Jacob Gross Vodka and Liqueur Factory in Bielsko-Biała, located at the intersection of the streets Stojałowskiego No 1 and at the corner of Lwowska Street, was established in that place in 1857.
The facility includes:
30 luxury flats/apartments, ranging in size from 25 to 95 m².
The largest and at the same time most impressive of them is located in the so-called tower, the highest point of the entire building, and it is a two-storey penthouse.
Located on the first floor, the commercial premises (including a law firm), in addition to their representative location and prominence, have unique historic interiors, i.e. vaults, pillars, brick walls and large, post-industrial windows.

Key Challenges

  • Ensuring proper thermal efficiency improvement using ISOVER and RIGIPS products to reduce utility costs of the facility.

  • Optimalisation of the use of the floor space of residential and commercial premises by using RIGIPS systems instead of traditional masonry walls.

  • Maintaining the recommended sound isolation in a space, where high attic columns were used.

  • Planning logistics for the delivery of construction materials due to the location of the facility in the city centre, on two main streets (delivery time constraints, limited material storage area).

  • Building high walls on the top floor (4–6 m high) – in a two-storey apartment.

Key Achievements

  • The service and technical knowledge of SG products and systems, provided by SG Advisor at the stage of bidding process, had a key impact on the selection of an SG offer.

  • Excellent cooperation with the Architecture firms Duffla (overall project) and W&W Architekci (commercial premises on the ground floor – law firm) at the stage of project preparation.

  • Professional support from SG – constant contact between the SG Advisor, the Contractor and the Architects.

  • Sucsessfull collaboration with the Distributor AXIOM Bielsko-Biała (availability of all products and timely delivery of products to the construction site).

  • Project completed on time and in accordance with the adopted budget.
