Design coordination

Seamless design coordination is critical in bringing any office vision to life and ensuring a smooth and successful build. By maintaining open and constant communication and collaboration with all stakeholders throughout the entire pre-construction and construction phases, our experienced team is able to proactively identify any potential design or construction issues very early on in the process.

This allows us to swiftly develop and implement practical, innovative solutions to mitigate these risks and keep the complex office design and build project moving forward right on schedule and within budget.

Cost certainty

We recognise that having accurate, realistic project costing and pricing in place from the very start is the essential foundation for establishing trust and productive working relationships between us and our clients.

Through decades of hands-on experience estimating and quoting thousands of office design & build projects of all sizes and scopes, we have honed and perfected a completely transparent and meticulous estimating approach.

Our goal with every comprehensive project quote is to provide our clients with completely open, honest, and realistic pricing right from day one, avoiding unwelcome surprises down the line.

Project delivery

In order to ensure smooth, on-time project delivery that meets our unwavering standards and quality, we carefully hand select and vet each and every supplier and subcontractor partner who will contribute to the build.

We look after everything from initial workplace consultancy, to essential details like office risk assessment and health and safety.

We work tirelessly to deliver every single design and build project on time and, over the last 3 years, we have completed 78% of our office construction projects ahead of schedule – saving our clients valuable time and money.

Stephen Parsons, Group Managing Director

Health and safety

Upholding rigorous health and safety practices, risk management, and accident prevention is central to our commercial office building design process. We actively and consistently follow all established safe working procedures, safety guidelines, and current statutory provisions across every project.

Our experienced in-house safety team is also supplemented by a dedicated group of independent safety auditors who regularly evaluate and inspect our office build sites. The valuable data gathered from these comprehensive risk assessment audits is then carefully analysed and used to continuously improve our proactive office site health and safety performance, compliance, and training programs on an ongoing basis.
