What we build.

New teaching blocks, extensions and civic rooms, often built beside a live school or street. We plan around the school day and the school year: noisy work outside exams, heavy deliveries away from drop-off, and handover in the summer break when the building can be commissioned and the staff trained before the children arrive.

Who for: Academy trusts, local authorities, architects and employers’ agents.

Usual route: Design and build, two-stage, or traditional on a developed design.

Structure, envelope, cores and risers for offices, workspace and light industrial buildings, with Category A fit-out where the developer wants one contractor from foundation to tenant handover. We price from a stage 3 design so the cost plan is tested before the tender, and we keep the envelope programme honest about lead times for cladding and glazing.

Who for: Developers, investors and employers’ agents.

Usual route: Two-stage with a pre-construction services agreement, or design and build.

Apartment blocks and houses for housing associations and developers, from a few dozen homes to a few hundred in phases. Repeated plans reward a calm, repeatable sequence on site, and the details that decide a housing scheme are the ones residents live with: airtightness, fire stopping, acoustic separation and a clear handover pack for each home.

Who for: Housing associations, developers and registered providers.

Usual route: Design and build with novation, or two-stage into a fixed-price build contract.

Work around people who are still using the building: phased handovers, dust and noise control, and a refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey before anything older is opened up. We agree the working hours, access routes and fire strategy with the building manager before the first day on site.

Who for: Owners and facilities teams, academy trusts and housing associations.

Usual route: Traditional on a surveyed scope, or design and build for larger schemes.
