Earlier engagement with the main contractor and design team has assisted the project stakeholders to achieving a product that is not only of high quality, built on time, incorporated service voids and penetrations, along with budget constraints. The Blanchard Wells team have developed an open communication process, which develops transparency and collaborative working. Blanchard Wells bring the added benefit of group strengths, groundwork and concrete frames, to deliver a programme that would have been hampered if packages had been split.
