Public
Creating buildings that meet that service the needs and meet the expectations of a demanding public audience is challenging. We have developed an enviable reputation for delivering complex projects, including the National Assembly for Wales and the Royal Albert Hall redevelopment amongst others.
We focus on technically exacting projects, as this is where we can truly add value for our customers.
Be it achieving BREEAM excellent, providing an iconic building or meeting immovable programme dates, we respond to the specific needs of our customers and work together to deliver value-for-money solutions that stand up to public scrutiny.

Retail
Retail is a dynamic sector that complements our skills perfectly. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in our relationship with Tesco, which developed into a working partnership delivering projects with a combined value in excess of £1bn.

We provide facilities management for high street retailers such as Dixons, Budgens and Matalan, where we deliver bespoke solutions, focusing on delivering efficiency improvements. We also deliver complex mixed use schemes, which, whilst anchored by retail, are inclusive of major commercial, leisure and residential elements. We undertake all forms of CapEx projects including small refurbishments, extensions and refits to live stores, new store projects of any size as well as new build and extensions to live distribution operations.

Our success and growth in this sector comes by mirroring our customers’ ethos of building customer loyalty through quality, price and service. Our offering is based on service, delivery and technological expertise delivering high class products to meet demanding targets. En route, we view our customer’s customers as if they were our own, ensuring that we deliver our service with minimal impact to the retail shopping experience.
