bpArchitecture
are a Chartered Architects practice based in Staffordshire.
The Practice was established in 2011 and incorporated in Nov 2014.
We work on a National basis on Education and Healthcare projects from £2m to £7m construction value
We work on a regional basis on larger Commercial projects from £2m to £5m construction value.
We work on smalle and medium projects in all sectors less than £2m construction value in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire within a 100 mile [1.5hr travel] radius of our office.
We work on smaller projects in all sectors less than £500k construction value in Staffordshire amd Cheshire, within a 40 mile [1hr travel] radius of our office.
We are not taking on any projects in excess of £10m construction value or in excess of 18m construction height.
Buildings are treated on an individual basis on larger sites/projects; therefore if a site has multiple buildings we can take on these larger projects, where the individual building has up to £7m construction value. Our PI Insurance looks at the spread of risk between the Architect and other consultants ie the Structural and Civil Engineer, M&E Consultant, Cladding Contractor, Fire Engineer and other Specialist Consultants would all carry some of the liability spreading the PI risk.
For the sectors we have experience in see our Portfolio
Services: We offer a full range of Architectural, Interior Architecture, Conservation, Principal Designer and Complimentary services. see the services menu above.
Our tTeam encompasses wide ranging experience aquired whilst working at practices based in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Working on both private and public sector projects across all sectors; we therefore offer large practice experience in an SME package.
Our experience also includes working in senior roles on projects with some of the 'Top 100' UK Building Contractors including Balfour Beatty, Interserve, Laing (John Laing), ISG, Wilmott Dixon, MACE, Lend Lease, Bovis, Bovis Lelliot.
We also have a strong working relationship working on projects utilising Offsite construction since 2008 and have won awards as recognised experts. We are open to approaches from other Modular Contractors who want an Architect with experince to work on their projects.
As a direct result of our background and experience our work is underpinned by a strong commercial and technical understanding.
We are constantly striving for excellence in every project we undertake. We offer a friendly service, provideing help and additional support where needed.
We also advise our Clients 'what they need to hear'.
Consultants
The Practice is backed by an established team of consultants, who assist with Multi discipline services.
We regularly work as a multi-disciplinary team, connecting with consultants we regularily work with. We are happy to source and deal with consultants on your behalf. We would prefer that the consultants are appointed and paid direct as this reduces PI premiums. These include:- Architect, CA, Principal Designer, Project Manager, Building Surveyor, Quantity Surveyor, Structural & Civil Engineer, M&E Consulting Engineers, Planning Consultant, Landscape Architect, Ancillary Services etc.
We regularly provide 'Full and Partial Service' work for Clients and D&B contractors to provide One Stop Design and Build Solutions for commerical projects.
We pride ourselves on the design of visionary, innovative and technical solutions [thinking outside the box] achieved by our team based in the Midlands. We get things done on time, keep client budgets in mind and meet the needs of the brief. This has resulted in a reputation for excellent service and our Clients coming back to work with us again and again.
We are keen to meet with Principals, Estate Managers, Facilities Managers, Local Authorities, Private Clients and Developers who want an Architect who cares about their project and offers a friendly, no nonsense approach to Architecture.
