Fast track

'Can do' attitude

‘thanks to a brilliant local architect’ - (Delia Smith – Director - Norwich City FC) - Close Season Extension to Norwich City FC Barclay Stand

Proven track record  

 

We have a proven track record and a high degree of confidence in committing to fast track projects for clients. We will commit to completion of a project within timescales which few would take on.

 

Our contracting background – see milestones  - has generated a ‘can do’ attitude to such challenges, born from the pressures of working to the demands of retail clients’ time frames. A client with an open mind to procurement techniques, the use of ‘Off Site Fabrication’ techniques and round the clock working 7 days a week can compress any timeframe. We enjoy the challenge of endeavouring to produce something exceptional whilst under pressure.

 

Works to Barclay End Stand Norwich City Football Club

 

Our reputation in this field was forged with a project for Norwich City FC.  The initial briefing took place in February 2000 and was completed within close season 2000   - a period of 7 months to obtain planning, arrange service diversions and build and fit out a substantial extension to an existing stand - complying with all relevant legislation. The objective was achieved and the project won an Norfolk Association of Architects Craftsmanship Award which was particularly pleasing given the timescale.

Procurement techniques

 

A common thread in all of the above examples is the use of performance specifications and design intent drwgs for each package of work, geared to ensuring that the expertise, energy and commitment which is inherent in all quality design and install sub-contractors is fully utilised. As a result the sub-contractor and his team 'buy in' to the opportunity to produce something exceptional. This is an educational and rewarding approach for all involved. We believe we have an expertise in this area due to our contracting background. Worked examples of the approach are included in the 'Powder Coated Sheet Metal Detailing Explained' heading under the 'Selected Projects' main menu item.
