Thomas Johnstone
Specialist Fit-out Contractor
TJL were selected by competitive tender in 2008 as the main exhibition contactor for National Museum of Scotland’s new gallery, “Scotland: A Changing Nation”. The scope was varied, including structures, (with integral display cases), floor finishes, electrical work, graphic media and physical interactives. Variations were controlled within budget and the tight delivery time frame met, including progressive snagging. Finishes were to a high standard.
