Construction planning by sector
Every sector has different constraints driving the programme and the logistics. Find yours below.
Housing Developments
Housing schemes live or die on plot sequencing, sales release and cash flow. We plan builds so roads, drainage and infrastructure lead the plots, show homes land on time and completions follow the sales plan.
SECTORApartments and Higher-Risk Buildings
Apartment schemes bring frames, façades, cranes and hoists, and buildings of 18m or seven storeys and above in England now carry the Building Safety Act gateway regime. We build realistic Building Safety Regulator determination periods and the golden thread into the plan from day one.
SECTORSchools and Education
Education projects run around term dates, safeguarding and occupied buildings. We programme disruptive works into holidays, plan decants and segregate the site from pupils and staff.
SECTOROffices and Commercial
Commercial schemes are often in town and city centres, next to occupied buildings, with tenants waiting on a date. We plan shell, core and fit-out stages, out-of-hours works and logistics that keep neighbours on side.
SECTORHealthcare
Healthcare work often happens in live clinical settings. We plan infection control, phased decants, out-of-hours shutdowns and the interfaces with estates teams so patient services keep running.
SECTORIndustrial and Warehousing
Industrial and logistics buildings are about speed and sequence: groundworks, steel, cladding and slab pours. We plan the trades around large, open sites and the long lead items that set the date.
SECTORRetail and Leisure
Retail and leisure projects often stay open while work goes on. We plan night works, phased store layouts and customer routes so trade continues and the opening date holds.
SECTORStudent Housing and Co-living
Student schemes have the least forgiving deadline in construction: the start of the academic year. We plan backwards from occupation, with repetition, off-site elements and fit-out flow driving the programme.
SECTORLater Living and Care
Later living and care schemes combine residential construction with operator requirements, specialist systems and registration. We plan in operator fit-out, testing and the time needed before residents move in.
SECTORRefurbishment, Retrofit and Fit-out
Existing buildings bring unknowns: asbestos, hidden structure and occupied floors. We build survey periods, contingency and phased working into the programme so the surprises are planned for.
