Business as usual
"Commercial construction requires a very detailed management process. We understand the importance of financial management and timelines - every fortnight we update our project programme, and with two quantity surveyors on the team, we're always back-costing to make sure there are no surprises. We're also often working around a neighbouring tenancy that still needs to operate, so we'll work after hours or get in early to make sure we're never disrupting the businesses around us."
Start your project →Renovating a commercial building.
Renovating a commercial building is a different job to building new. You're working within an existing structure, its age, its services, the way it was originally built, and often around a business that's still running while the work happens. Getting it right takes experience reading what's actually there before the work starts, and a programme that protects the client's operation.
Our office and project management team runs a tight programme, which is what keeps a commercial renovation on schedule when there's a business depending on it.
Upgrading and reworking existing commercial spaces to a higher standard.
Changing or adding to an existing commercial building, structure included.
Reworking a building's layout for a new use or a new tenant.
Bringing an existing building up to current requirements.
Cladding, recladding and structural repairs to an existing commercial building.
An existing building rarely matches its plans.
A commercial renovation lives or dies on what you find once you open up the structure. Existing buildings rarely match their original drawings, and the services, structure and condition behind the walls are where the surprises are. Experience is knowing how to plan for that — costing realistically, sequencing the work to keep the business running where possible, and flagging issues as they come up rather than at the end.
Because we handle structural work, earthworks and fit-out in-house, we can take a commercial renovation from the structure right through to the finish without coordinating it out — which keeps the standard consistent and the responsibility in one place.
