Our Commercial Clients

We have extensive experience of working with property investment clients, several of which we have established long-standing working relationships.

Projects have been wide ranging with a depth of experience in offices – both refurbishment and new build; hotel conversions and new build; out of town retail estates; and private rental residential projects as well as private education facilities.

We utilise our skills in construction methodology to assist our clients in developing projects that have built in durability and that will be low maintenance, all helping to maximise value from the designed life of the building. We assist the client and design teams to review different forms of construction, materials and build techniques to establish the most suitable design solutions to meet the expectations and aspirations of both the client and future tenants.

We appreciate that when refurbishing existing buildings, speed of construction is often of paramount importance to ensure loss of rental income is minimised, and we provide procurement advice tailored to deliver robust pricing allied with swiftness of programme.
