Development Management
As architects, we thrive on collaboration, always ready to lend our expertise to SME developers looking to bring their ambitious projects to life. Whether it’s through our in-house capabilities or strategic partnerships with Asset Care, Enfund, or Roscap, we strive to provide comprehensive services that perfectly complement their needs.
One noteworthy project that exemplifies our prowess is our collaboration with CitizenM on the Tower of London development. What began as offering design manager services soon evolved into us taking the joint lead as development managers, successfully guiding the project to its completion. Our partnership with CitizenM was so fruitful that it paved the way for another groundbreaking endeavour.
Teaming up with the innovative MMC manufacturer, Polcom, we helped create and establish their development arm, now known as Molo Developments. Through Molo Developments, we seamlessly secured a lease agreement with the prestigious Herriott Watt University for a magnificent Marriott Hotel to enhance their Sport Centre of Excellence. Additionally, we orchestrated the procurement and development of the Luton Airport site, a venture that entailed successfully negotiating the franchise agreement with Marriott for both hotels.
But our passion for development doesn’t stop there. We also manage our very own development company, and we take immense pride in our recent triumph: a residential project nestled in the heart of Croydon. This endeavour encompassed every aspect of creation, from meticulously selecting and acquiring the site to diligently raising the necessary finance, all the way to meticulously managing the construction process.
With our wealth of experience and unwavering determination, we are confident in our ability to bring any vision to life. From the smallest details to the grandest designs, we have proven time and again that we are the trusted architects who can transform dreams into reality. So, let us join forces, ignite our creativity, and leave our indelible mark on the world of development. Together, we will create spaces that inspire, captivate, and stand the test of time.
Client Representative
As architects, we are not just creators of spaces but guardians of the client’s vision. We pride ourselves on our ability to represent our clients faithfully throughout the entire construction process. With our expertise in contract administration, we lay a solid foundation, ensuring that every detail is accounted for and resolved, leaving no room for uncertainty.
In the tumultuous world of construction, we understand that disputes may arise. But fear not, for we are well-versed in the language of contracts and are ready to advocate for our clients, providing sound advice and support during these challenging times. We strive to protect your interests, guiding you through any contractual disputes with the finesse of seasoned negotiators.
When it comes to funding your project, we have an array of options at our disposal. Our extensive network of partners allows us to tap into their expertise and resources, enabling us to assist you in securing the necessary funds. Furthermore, we have established relationships with brokers in the open market, ensuring that we explore every avenue to find the financial solution that best suits your needs.
In selecting contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers, we are meticulous in our shortlisting process. Drawing upon our vast experience, we curate a list of reputable individuals and companies who have proven their worth in previous projects. This enables us to recommend only the best, ensuring that your project is executed to the highest standards.
Expanding our horizons beyond national borders, we have nurtured relationships with suppliers from around the world. Our global reach allows us to access a diverse range of cutting-edge materials and technologies. With our finger on the pulse of the industry, we can recommend game-changing solutions from both local and international markets.
But our ties with the global community do not end with suppliers alone. We have established a formidable alliance with Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) suppliers. This means that we can procure directly from these MMC suppliers, cutting through unnecessary layers and ensuring a streamlined process. Acting as the single point of contact, we manage the entire construction process, orchestrating the collaboration between our clients and the nominated suppliers with finesse and expertise.
So, whether you require assistance in contract administration, funding, or supplier selection, we stand ready to be your partner in achieving your vision. With our wealth of experience and global connections, we boldly stride forward, confident in our ability to deliver excellence on every level.
Project Management
As an architect, we don’t just limit ourselves to the traditional realm of design and construction. No, we pride ourselves on taking on additional responsibilities, such as project management, to ensure that our client’s vision is brought to life with seamless precision.
While we excel in all types of projects, it is in the smaller developments and highly technical reclad projects where our expertise truly shines. These projects demand a lead consultant who possesses not only architectural prowess but also an in-depth understanding of the intricacies involved. And who better to take charge than an architect themselves?
To ensure the success of these ventures, we collaborate with our trusted partners who bring their specialist knowledge and reporting prowess to the table. By strategically sub-contracting certain elements of the project, we ensure that every aspect is handled with the utmost expertise. But make no mistake, we always maintain a single point of contact for our clients, providing them with the ease and convenience of dealing with just one entity.
Should the need arise, we are more than capable of assembling and managing an entire team for a project. In doing so, we become the sole point of responsibility and invoicing, streamlining the process and eliminating any unnecessary complications. This way, our clients can focus on the bigger picture, knowing that every detail is being expertly handled under our watchful eye.
So, whether it’s a smaller development in need of our architectural leadership or a technical reclad project requiring our specialized knowledge, rest assured that we will go the extra mile as your trusted architect-cum-project manager. With us at the helm, your vision will become a reality, seamlessly executed with a confidence that only comes from years of experience and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
