Facilities Projects

Start with the business requirement and the condition of the property. A project can begin with feasibility work, a defined replacement or an agreed delivery brief. The right route depends on what is known and which decisions still need to be made.

Discuss your requirements

Projects are judged by their evidence.

Project types

Project Management — Coordinate scope, decisions, delivery and completion around the property project.

Minor Works — Defined alterations and repair packages with connected trades and making good included.

Refurbishment and Fit-Out — Develop layouts, building services and finishes for the intended use of the space.

Planned Replacement Programmes — Prioritise renewals using condition, operational importance and installation dependencies.

Dilapidations and Reinstatement — Deliver agreed schedules of repair, removal and reinstatement for property handover.

Multi-Site Rollouts — Apply a common specification across properties with site-specific planning and records.

Design and Build — Connect the client brief, design responsibilities and construction in one delivery route.

Construction Design and Management — Establish project information, appointments and practical construction interfaces.

Testing and Commissioning — Demonstrate installed operation against defined requirements and record the results.

Project Handover — Bring completed work, operating information and outstanding actions into a usable transfer.

Capital Works — Plan significant improvements and renewals around the investment objective.

Mechanical and Electrical Projects — Coordinate plant, power, distribution and controls as connected systems.

Building Services Upgrades — Improve existing systems against demand, condition and future building use.

Compliance Remedial Works — Turn assessment findings into defined work and traceable completion evidence.

Energy and Decarbonisation Projects — Assess energy measures, technical dependencies and the basis for measuring outcomes.

Strip-Out and Decommissioning — Plan removals, isolations and the condition required for the next project stage.

Surveys and Feasibility — Gather the information needed to compare options and make the next project decision.

Cost Planning — Develop complete budgets with clear scope, allowances and cost assumptions.

Programme Management — Coordinate dependencies, procurement, access and completion milestones.

From an idea to a clear brief

Define the operational result, sites, stakeholders and acceptance requirements. Existing surveys, asset data and estate standards help the design and budget develop from evidence. Identify the decision owners and any fixed operational milestones.

Coordinating the trades

Building fabric, power, heating, ventilation, water and controls can affect one another. A coordinated scope identifies the interfaces, retained equipment and enabling work before installation begins. Explore the full service range to connect the project with the individual trades it needs.

Planning access and disruption

01

Plan the construction sequence around occupancy, critical services, shutdowns and other estate activity. The programme needs design decisions and procurement as well as site work. Readiness at each site matters as much as the availability of contractors.

Budget and programme

The complete project budget can include surveys, design, approvals, enabling work, construction, equipment, commissioning and reinstatement. The programme should show the dependencies between them. As information develops, changes need their cost, time and operational effects explained before approval.

Completion and ongoing care

Handover joins the physical result with drawings, test records, asset information and operating requirements. The receiving facilities team needs a clear view of remaining actions and the maintenance arrangements for changed systems. Explore maintenance options.

Projects across sectors

The project range applies across all sectors. Education needs occupation and reopening considered; retail needs trading interfaces; managing agents need clear owner decisions and access arrangements. Each brief identifies the actual requirements of the premises.

Frequently asked questions

Can a project begin without drawings?

Yes. An initial enquiry can explain the intended result and existing condition. The next stage establishes which surveys, drawings or specialist input are needed to develop the scope.

Can one project include several trades?

Yes. Identify the complete outcome so the scope includes the connections between building fabric, services, controls and finishes.

How is project work different from maintenance?

Maintenance cares for or restores existing assets. A project usually delivers a defined alteration, renewal or improvement with its own scope, programme and completion requirements.

What helps produce a useful initial budget?

Provide the property, intended use, extent of work, preferred timing and available surveys. State whether the budget includes design, equipment and other costs beyond construction.
