Blanchard Wells provide a very professional service, proactive with their approach to work within programme restraints. They have worked on several schemes where the cost plan was over budget. Throughout the value engineering stages Blanchard Wells were extremely helpful to ensure that project savings were made where possible. They have since become a framework contractor to PMC who we use on a regular basis
