Commercial

Commercial premises cover a wide range of specialist applications, which frequently need to combine outstanding aesthetics with practical functionality to make them the best fit for purpose.

Our commercial projects have included converting a warehouse into inspiring gallery space; building an iconic Gatehouse to make a bold visual statement for a world-renowned company; and constructing offices and a technical facility for digital and photographic processing.

Such major works can involve multiple stages from demolition and dismantling of past buildings, to erecting new structures with full internal decor and services, with external works from drainage to car parks and garden landscaping.

Education

When extending, renovating, refurbishing or building new schools in local communities and the most famous academic institutions, we guarantee close communication with our clients and all those affected by the works.

By programming our construction activities around the timetables and calendar of a school, we make sure safety is always a priority, and minimize disruption to staff and pupils by understanding the teaching process.

Our experience with educational projects includes the construction of teaching blocks, laboratories, sports facilities, classroom refurbishment, music blocks, kitchen/dining facilities and residential accommodation.

Film Studios

Our experience in the Film Studio and Broadcasting sector embraces new build, refurbishment and fitting out projects and includes sound stages, TV\radio studio facilities, scenery & costume storage facilities, workshops, office\staff accommodation, canteens and commercial office space.

Our mission is to build relationships with clients for life by creating a culture of service excellence, using local resources and our proven supply chain, ensuring we deliver a quality product to budget and to the complete satisfaction of the client.

Homes

Building new homes provides an important resource for communities, working on greenfield sites or especially when upgrading brownfield sites to more valuable use.

We build modern accommodation for sustainable living, working to meet new environmental standards. Our experience in creating desirable complexes for assisted living is also in increasing demand as the demographic profile of the population changes.

Managing projects through to final completion, we can provide fully fitted-out homes with services, white goods and security systems all in place ready for occupants.

Industrial

Buildings for industrial use may be unseen by customers but their design and function makes a major contribution to the effective operations and profitability of a business.

We work on industrial projects to construct efficient use of space that is fit for the practical purposes of a business and, in supporting everyday efficiency, is a worthwhile investment.

Our industrial projects have included new buildings, major structural alterations and internal fit outs in applications such as warehouse units, specialist units for film studios, sets and storage in film companies, and theatre stages.

Interiors

For many companies the interior design of their buildings is a major expression of their corporate brand.

We work on buildings that must meet both functional objectives and the style and quality that convey a specific brand image to staff, visitors, and customers.

Interior projects we have completed include Cat A and Cat B fit out with demolition, soft strip, refurbishment and alterations. Life Build can either lead the design team or work alongside the team. Our experiences also include shops fit outs, offices, administration refurbs and breathing new life into tired communal rooms, entrances and reception areas.

Leisure

In the leisure sector, the visual appeal and user experience of premises is key to driving the customer choice that brings in revenue.

Our contracts have covered extremely diverse facilities, including sports halls, an ice rink, swimming pool, changing rooms, theatre auditorium and within hotel venues we have upgraded and added luxury bedrooms and reception areas.

Work on several projects has extended beyond the core buildings and we have regenerated and restyled surrounding gardens and car park areas to ensure users or potential patrons gain that all-important best impression.

Worship and Community

Places of worship have a special significance for those who use or view them and we work with sensitivity on both buildings with history, or new builds.

Our experience includes both refurbishing older churches, where style and finishes must marry with existing interiors or exteriors, and creating distinctive modern churches. We have built or improved main church buildings, extensions, halls, viewing balconies, meeting rooms, accommodation, kitchens, gardens and car parks.

Often site access is constricted: to demolish, clear sites and then build, we must work round times of church services and community use and communicate throughout with local authorities and those affected.
