Project Management
Our project managers are a dominant force in the science and technology sector, in recent years delivering over £2.4m sq ft of space across the Oxford to Cambridge Arc.
Delivering the next phase of renewal and investment at Cambridge Science Park
In a sector that’s often saving lives, we place huge importance on understanding as much as possible about the science businesses underpinning each project brief.
We’re trusted to deliver controlled environments because we devote time to challenging the brief, the budget, and probing the science processes that rely so heavily on suitable, safe workspaces.
We’ve delivered labs for life sciences, nanotechnology, engineering and clean rooms; from radioactive isotope storage to anechoic chambers, the detail is key to developing spaces that are marketable and can evolve with the science.
Our deep-rooted knowledge of this multi-faceted sector over five decades, allows us to confidently procure and lead the right teams that will protect your development from risk. Consultants like working with us because we listen to, and sometimes challenge, specialist advice; we also know when we need to drive the team hard to keep the project on track.
We’ve worked with 31 of the UK’s leading science and innovation parks across the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, leaving occupants such as Pfizer, Abcam, AstraZeneca, Huawei, Johnson Matthey and Airbus in safe hands.
