Old Bailey Central Criminal Court

The decade-long refurbishment programme, which will concentrate on upgrading old boiler rooms and building services throughout the building. The contract to upgrade the Old Bailey will be phased to allow the 18 criminal courts to continue to operate during the modernisation programme. Two of the courts at a time will be out of action and much of the work will be done at night to avoid disrupting trials.

The City of London Corporation will pay £27m, with the rest of the £37m bill paid by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service. The new boilers will be housed in the old coal cellar – a cavernous chamber deep underground with a hatch at one end leading down to the River Fleet – which runs under the building and down to the Thames.

Having worked with MultiCAD for over 4 years at The Old Bailey, it has truly transformed the way we approach design and construction. From the initial consultation to project completion, their team demonstrated unparalleled expertise in BIM software, ensuring seamless integration across all stages of our project.

Their attention to detail, coupled with their proactive approach to problem-solving, helped us identify potential issues early, saving both time and costs. The team is responsive, reliable, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.

Thanks to their cutting-edge technology and collaborative mindset, we were able to make more informed decisions, optimize our workflows, and enhance overall project efficiency.

The results speak for themselves — precise models, better coordination, and a smoother construction process.

I highly recommend MultiCAD to anyone looking to take full advantage of BIM capabilities for smarter, more successful projects.
