Focus on corporates & occupiers

The needs of every occupier are unique. Our role is to understand those needs and deliver a solution that meets each clients’ requirements. There are several consistent elements across our work with these clients.

 

Lease Flexibility

Taking on a new lease is a major financial commitment for occupiers. In recent years the tendency has been a move to shorter leases, however, the obligations of the leases have remained similar/the same. A 5 year lease can have the same obligations as a 25 year lease and this is often misunderstood. It is important that appropriate due diligence is undertaken to ensure their interests are protected.

People are the Heart of Every Business

Increasingly, the workplace is recognised as a significant factor in attracting the best talent into your business. We understand these aspirations and support our clients to bring together the right team and lead the delivery of projects. The key factors to consider are location, flexibility of the space, quality aspirations and the natural environment.

Businesses are Subject to Accelerating Change

The requirements of accommodation are increasingly under pressure. This drives accommodation to be more flexible which is challenging as many fixed elements can limit flexibility, in particular mechanical plant and power/data. We work with the design team and our Client to best understand their current and future needs with a view to developing a solution that supports their business.

Focus on the Wellbeing of your People

The increasing prominence of wellness in the workplace, including the shift to hybrid working and the focus on wellness assessment criteria such as WELL, are providing an opportunity to demonstrate improved performance of the workplace. These aspirations require to be understood at the outset of any project to ensure enhancements beyond normal good practice are seamlessly accommodated within the design solution in a cost-effective manner.

Effective Project Delivery

Successful projects require a detailed understanding of the technical requirements that must be accommodated. There is a significant interface of the built environment with specialist technical requirements on every project. We ensure the specialists are at the design table from the outset to ensure their requirements are accommodated.

Robust Processes

The aspirations and vision for any instruction are what drives the outcome, however, the success of a relocation project is measured by delivering on time, on budget, and to the quality levels expected. Our processes underpin delivery regardless of the type of project.
