Residential builds — apartments, PBSA & housing
We deliver new build and refurbishment in live, occupied estates. Works are phased with resident liaison, decant plans, quiet hours and clean routes to keep buildings safe and usable. Façade remediation and MEP upgrades are coordinated end-to-end for predictable handover.
Typical scopes include cladding and façade replacement, balcony remediation, compartmentation and firestopping, riser and lateral MEP upgrades, lift lobbies and common parts, and final commissioning with clear resident packs.
Live-occupied delivery with clean routes, fire safety upgrades and clean commissioning for a safe return to use.

Years of DeliveryFrom preconstruction to clean handover
We plan, build, and commission complex projects in live and new environments with integrated MEP and rigorous QA.
Trusted construction partner for complex delivery
Programme control
Two-stage planning, gateways, risk logs and weekly look-aheads that keep dates predictable and stakeholders aligned.
Live environment expertise
Phasing, red and blue routes, sealed zones and night windows so buildings stay operational without unplanned downtime.
Integrated MEP
Early coordination, prefab where viable, staged changeovers and rollback plans that protect services during cutover.
Clean commissioning & validation
ITPs and hold points, flushing and balancing, IST and vendor sign-off. HTM/HBN for healthcare and Tier-readiness for data halls.
Digital QA & golden thread
Photo evidence, inspections, product data and change control captured to produce clear O&M packs and Building Safety Act gateways.
Safety first
RAMS and permits, CDM duties, environmental controls and third-party audits. We aim for zero incidents and zero rework.

From preconstruction to clean handover we plan risks early, coordinate MEP with precision and capture digital QA evidence so your programme stays predictable and compliant. We set out clear gateways, publish weekly look-aheads and risk logs so nothing drifts. Staged changeovers, clean commissioning and soft landings give you a smooth, defect-free handover.

What types of projects do you deliver?New build, refurbishment and fit-out across education, commercial offices, industrial and logistics, life sciences and data centres with programme-led delivery and integrated trades.How do you keep programmes predictable?Two-stage planning with gateways, look-ahead schedules, risk and issue logs, and weekly progress reviews. Early procurement of long-lead items and clear change control prevent drift.How do you work in live or occupied buildings?Phasing and decant plans, out-of-hours windows, red and blue routes, dust and noise controls, compliant hoardings, permits to work and daily briefings so operations continue safely.Do you support preconstruction and design?Yes. Feasibility, surveys, cost planning, value engineering and buildability reviews with clear assumptions and constraints. We coordinate design to de-risk site delivery.How do you manage quality and handover?ITPs and hold points, digital QA evidence with photos and certificates, progressive snag closure, commissioning plans and soft landings. Complete O&M packs for a clean handover.Which procurement routes do you work under?Two-stage and single-stage D&B, traditional, and PCSA arrangements. We also deliver through client frameworks where required with open-book options available.How do you manage health, safety and environment?CDM compliance, RAMS and permits, inductions and daily briefings, temporary works control, environmental protection and independent audits. We target zero incidents and zero rework.Do you use prefabrication or DFMA?Yes where it adds value. We assess skids, risers and modular elements during preconstruction to improve quality, reduce time on site and minimise disruption in live environments.How do you handle cost control and changes?Baseline cost plans with tracked assumptions, live change registers, priced options and approvals before issue. Forecasts are updated with each gateway so budgets stay under control.What support do we get after completion?Training and soft landings, defects response with clear SLAs, seasonal commissioning if needed, and retained records to maintain the golden thread for the asset lifecycle.
