We’ve earned a reputation as one of London’s most trusted office design and build companies – and we bring the same standard of excellence to every commercial space we deliver across the UK and EU. From the earliest project discussions to the final post-occupancy checks, our team takes full responsibility for the entire process. We operate under a single-source model, managing everything from health and safety and sustainability compliance to technical fit-out and post-construction care. By centralising all aspects of the workspace design and build journey, we simplify complex projects and ensure quality at every stage.
Our experienced, multi-disciplinary team enables us to deliver seamless, end-to-end design and build services for commercial offices of every scale. From corporate HQs to creative studios, life science labs to higher education facilities, we approach each project with care and precision. Whether we’re upgrading critical infrastructure or designing dynamic breakout areas, we handle every phase – including compliance, mechanical systems, fire safety and more. And we give the same attention to detail to compact office refurbishments as we do to flagship workspace developments.
A design and build company is your trusted partner in transforming spaces into remarkable environments. With an open-minded approach, we explore the vast possibilities of commercial design balanced with functionality, to align with your ambitions. Our experts listen to your business objectives, potential, and aspirations, translating them into tangible, actionable plans and both design then build your dream workspace. This includes architectural design planning, adhering to building and safety regulations, construction and project managing the process from start to finish.
By choosing design and build procurement, you gain access to a single point of responsibility, streamlining communication and decision-making. This results in enhanced efficiency, as design and construction phases seamlessly merge under one team. Additionally, design and build procurement promotes collaboration and innovation, allowing for greater flexibility and adaptability throughout the project. With a holistic perspective, potential conflicts are mitigated early on, leading to both savings on costs and time.
The difference between office design and build and traditional contract lies in the approach and level of responsibility. With design and build, you have a single entity responsible for both the design and construction aspects of the project. This streamlined approach ensures better coordination, faster decision-making, and a seamless integration of design and construction expertise. In contrast, traditional contracts separate the design and construction phases, involving multiple entities and contracts. This can lead to potential challenges in communication, coordination, and accountability. Design and build offers a more collaborative and efficient process, with the design and construction team working together from the start, resulting in enhanced cost and time management, reduced risks, and a cohesive outcome.
