With over £2bn of UK research facilities, Harwell has an international reputation for scientific discovery and innovation
Our team has an analytical, commercial understanding of development that you would not find with a traditional project manager.
If you are looking for a site to develop, it is usual to work with an agency team to investigate cost against potential yield. But we also bring in our expert project managers, with a bank of data from completed projects, to benchmark building costs – providing accurate market intelligence.
Drawing upon a wealth of knowledge from our commercial mixed use and specialist laboratory projects, our experts provide detailed comparisons on building specifications, costs and development programmes, allowing you to formulate precise plans.
We provide invaluable risk and opportunity evidence on the viability and deliverability of the project, analysis of site capacity, constraints, and market demand, allowing a strategic investment decision. Following which, our team can assist with consultant selection for the project.
We could be liaising with rocket scientists one day and finding new ecological homes for wildlife the next – the diversity of our experience is unsurpassed.
