Let's talk

What we do

Design and build, from first brief to final account.

A brief arrives and we draw it, price it and build it under one contract, from a 2,000 sq ft floor to a whole building. You deal with one company and one person throughout, and buy the work single stage, two stage or negotiated. The cost plan is set out line by line in 16 named sections, with every provisional sum named and sized.

Services

Three things, done properly.

Design and build

One contract carries the design, the price and the work on site, whether the design starts from your brief or from your designer's scheme at RIBA Stage 2 or 3. A 44-item pre-construction checklist runs from the asbestos survey to the construction phase plan before we take possession.

Cat A, Cat B and Day One floors

We return floors to Cat A, fit out Cat B and build Day One floors for landlords, our Cat A+, finished and furnished for letting on a shorter lease. We apply for the licence to alter and have the landlord's sprinkler incumbent quote at award, as that work gates the ceiling close-up.

Refurbishment and reconfiguration

We reconfigure space you already hold and refurbish at lease events, phased floor by floor around the people still working there, with noisy works in windows agreed with building management. The common parts are photographed and dated before possession and reinstated against those photographs when we demobilise.

Who it's for

Occupiers, landlords and the agents in between.

Occupiers

Send us the floor plan before the lease is signed and we will give you a budget range and a programme worked back from your occupation date. Your weekly report names the decisions we need from you, by when, and the cost of delay.

Landlords

We return floors to Cat A at lease end, to your specification and letting date, or build a Day One floor to shorten the void. The managing agent's rules are obtained in writing before we mobilise, and your incumbent contractors stay on the fire alarm, sprinklers and BMS.

Agents and advisers

We work to your client's break date and price the job the way you procure it, single stage, two stage or negotiated, with an itemised cost plan for your QS. Every RFI carries a response date, and minutes reach you within two working days.

In-house and partnered

What we do ourselves, and what we don't pretend to.

Commercial, project and site management, design coordination and health and safety are run by Veltra's own people. M&E design, specialist joinery and furniture are bought from specialists under our contract, so you still deal with one company.

Tell us about your space. We'll tell you what it costs and how long it takes.
