“Integral Build take great pains to understand their client’s business requirements and have performed admirably on single-site and multi-site schemes for our clients, meeting timetable and budget on every occasion, including the usually difficult to obtain post-completion paperwork which can be crucial in end-of-term or agreement-to-lease situations. I would have no hesitation in using them for fit-out and general building works in any location” Tony Rushton Marsh Associates Healthcare

03 The Team The team at Integral Build have an excellent pedigree in refurbishment and construction based on many years of experience and expertise; almost every sector from industrial to residential is represented by the senior management team and site staff are well-versed in the vagaries of complex projects.
“The DE&S Ops Centre Project has been a resounding success, and recognised at very senior level within Debut, Defence Estates and our wider customer community.
The management structure itself is not a hierarchical, distant one, moreover, there is direct and relevant involvement from all levels on all sites to reach the most efficient result possible. One of the main aspects commented on is the team’s ability to work together to provide effective and efficient communication for the client and stakeholders. They are adept at constantly thinking ahead to pre-empt problems – another essential asset and one recognized by their clients.
CDM Commendation is a fantastic achievement and I would like you to pass my congratulations and thanks to Tony Hurley and all others involved.” Hayley Morse Interim Operations Manager Integrated Services Debut Services (South West) Limited

04 Project Expertise 4.1 Building 18, DSDA Ashchurch, Debut Services SW, ÂŁ1.4m An Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) necessitated the return of a key vehicle workshop building back to operational capability as soon as possible. The pre-war building had been left vacant for several years and had fallen into considerable disrepair, the brief therefore was to refurbish as economically as possible the key areas to enable the building to become operational with minimal delay.
The works included roof repairs, fire protection works, upgrading of existing mechanical, electrical and fire alarm systems and a general internal upgrade. A key factor was to get the workshop area operational first; a solution proposed for the problematic asbestos roof involved not removal but encapsulation in a Kemper roofing system. This enabled weather tightness to be achieved in a little over 8 weeks
on all 8,500m² of roofing. The military vehicles rolled in straightaway, instantly increasing operational capability by 40%, thus ensuring as many vehicles as possible were being prepared for operations in theatre.
4.2 New HQ Building, Brize Norton, Airbus Military, ÂŁ600,000 Integral Build were appointed as Principal Contractor for the fitting out of the new offices for Airbus to be used for the facilitation of sales of new aircraft to global customers. The building features a very high specification throughout with cellular offices, open plan areas, meeting rooms, conference/client suite with the very latest AV and ICT equipment, secure frame room, lab space, kitchen, showers and WC facilities.
Works included complex fit-out of requirements within a very secure commercial environment; all aspects of the build had to meet not just the highly specified design of the innovative architect involved but also the practical needs of the client. Essential elements of delivery included close collaboration on site, management of complex installations and an absolute adherence to all aspects of a fast-track, secure defence related environment.
The partnership approach developed with Airbus on this project has continued post project completion with the maintenance and cleaning teams demonstrating the same level of flexibility and customer focus as they begin to deliver post installation service contracts.
4.3 Project SLAM, RAF Brize Norton, Debut Services SW / MOD, £300,000 The objective of Project SLAM is to progressively upgrade the worst Single Living Accommodation to Grade 1 physical condition, in order to provide service men and women with a living environment fit for purpose, making them feel valued and supported. At Integral we are responsible for the on-going Mechanical, Electrical and Fabric maintenance working in partnership with Debut Services, who manage the FM, to deliver a seamless service for the MOD, in the transfer from build through to maintenance.
We manage all planned and reactive works within the SLAM buildings which are always new build constructions. Once these buildings have been handed over from the construction team Integral & Debut’s remit is to maintain these properties for a seven year period, after which these buildings are handed back to the MOD to manage. This is a fully comprehensive contract, looking after 18 SLAM Buildings at Brize Norton which equates to over 2,000 bedrooms. Last year Integral

received 825 reactive calls which were dealt with by the onsite team as well as by specialist contractors. The success of this contract is due to communication and close collaboration with both Debut Services and the MOD, the management of onsite resident engineers and an absolute adherence to working in a secure defence related environment.
