But Christmas last year they were asked to add a further (fourth) floor of 2000 sq m to the Sanlamhof block and by Christmas of this year to complete five further floors on top of the lower floors. In addition, they had to erect a 280 sq m service core (consisting of four lifts, toilets) to one side of the enlarged complex and to install the top half of a new central lift shaft so that it can eventually serve the new floors as well.
