Challenge

All of the elements of the project were to be delivered in a busy town centre environment, minimising disruption to neighbouring business and the public.

The client required a market style, timber framed, socially focused building to utilise a plot at the heart of the new town centre development in Longbridge, Birmingham.

Occupied by Herbert’s Yard, the venue is “a street food venue, cafe, market and community space right in the centre of Longbridge”.

Solution

Assembling a team of trusted people and suppliers, we commenced the project with a clear plan and programme designed to achieve the occupation date of the end user. As the occupation date was a commitment made by the client, adherence to the plan was critical to the project’s success.

A key component of this was the detailed coordination required between not only us and our delivery team, but also the client and their consultants, the new services providers (BT, electricity and water), Building Control, the town centre management team and the end user and their fit-out contractor.

To deliver the client’s vision, the project demanded the setting and infrastructure to host street food vendors, whilst providing internal and external seating areas and inside bar and kitchen facilities. The project included:

Earthworks
Groundworks
Drainage and services
Building works
Mechanical and electrical systems
Hard and soft landscaping

The project was completed, signed off and handed over on programme and within budget. Herbert’s Yard opened in December 2021 and has been a huge success locally and in the wider area.
