2. OUR CORE OFFERING

Project Management

We have an incredibly strong team of experienced project managers, who are responsible for the successful delivery of your construction project. Working closely with our clients, the team are well equipped to organise, control, and monitor ongoing construction operations. In addition to our project management team, we have a strong and capable technical administration department, which ensures all crucial paperwork is completed. We pride ourselves on the hands-on leadership and guidance we offer, from pre-commencement to completion.

Quantity Surveying

The quantity surveying team’s strengths lie in their diverse backgrounds within client organisations, professional practice and contracting. This breadth of exposure enables us to offer broad skillsets and experience on all projects across our sectors.

Our technical administration department provides additional support to the surveying team, ensuring the work produced is issued promptly and of the highest quality.

With our team’s collective industry expertise, combined with a wealth of benchmarking data we acquire from our live projects, we can provide our clients with recommendations that accurately align with the changing business landscape.

In addition, we have access to RICS Membership, BCIS data, CostX measurement software and JCT online, whilst actively supporting quantity surveying apprenticeships with Nottingham Trent University, allowing us to continue onboarding new talent for the future of construction.

Employer’s Agent

As employer’s agent, we ensure the project is structured correctly and that the investment value of the scheme is protected. As well as representing our client, we will administer the contract and complete all appointments, warranties, and other key legal documents, alongside organising, chairing, and recording meetings / key events.

We are there to support, advise and organise our clients. Depending on the requirement the role will be fulfilled by one of our senior project managers or project surveyors, with backup support from the wider technical team.

Principal Designer

As a business, we have invested heavily in training key members of the project management team as principal designers. As members of the APS, Association for Project Safety, we are competent in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout the project.

When appointed as project managers on a scheme, we can extend our appointment to include principal designers where required.

Building Consultancy

The breadth of experience within our professional team means that we have worked across all property sectors, which allows us to provide our clients with detailed and reliable advice across the full property life cycle.

We understand our client’s requirements, working seamlessly to provide proactive advice on a range of technical issues, including acquisition surveys and fund monitoring reporting, technical due diligence, landlord and tenant dilapidations claims, planned preventative maintenance, party wall matters, together with building refurbishment and fit out project management and contract administration services for projects of all shapes and sizes.

It is our professional team’s experience, knowledge, understanding and logical, lateral thinking that affords us the ability to provide the accurate, timely and focused advice our clients expect.

WE UNDERSTAND OUR CLIENT’S REQUIREMENTS, WORKING SEAMLESSLY TO PROVIDE PROACTIVE ADVICE ON A RANGE OF TECHNICAL ISSUES

Data Analysis

Our team regularly extract cost information from our current projects based on the contract data, which allows us to highlight trends, gain a clearer picture of projections and averages based on £sq. ft GIA, and provide a percentage breakdown of costs based on the different elements of the build.

With around 8 million sq. ft analysed so far and a combined job value of £0.5 billion, we can provide projections for units ranging from up to 10,000 sq. ft to over 500,000 sq. ft, and everything in between.

This insight helps our precision with cost analysis by using the real-time data we harvest.

WITH THE BUSINESS LANDSCAPE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WE UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING OUR CLIENTS WITH ACCURATE COST PROJECTIONS

ADDITIONAL SERVICES

Life Cycle Assessments / Costing

Life-Cycle Costing (LCC) and Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the analysis of the potential environmental impacts of our building elements during their life cycle. LCA and LCC are rapidly becoming the standard method for the long-term cost appraisal of buildings and civil infrastructure projects. Demonstrating the value for money and environmental impact over the long term is an essential tool our team can offer for those involved in the design, construction, operation, and risk analysis of construction projects.

Quality Monitoring

We recognise the importance of quality when it comes to building. That’s why we have a mix of experts, many with building surveying and on-site backgrounds, who are placed to provide a constructive view on the quality and appropriateness of your built asset as the works progress.

Fund Monitoring

We have provided fund monitoring services to Barwood Capital, NatWest, Octopus and Handelsbanken for a variety of building projects. We are practical and realistic, providing guidance and advice as the project progresses from the agreement of funding through to completion.

5. Environmental Social Governance

At Goodrich, we realise that we need to be strategic about our social responsibility and raise awareness of our individual and collective impact on the planet.

By being a part of Planet Mark and collating key data on our business, we can access invaluable insight to understand the effect of our carbon footprint and identify critical areas where we can make improvements. From the knowledge we gain, we can make decisions that positively influence our future actions allowing continuous improvements to be made across the business and within our community.

As a company, we are working hard to reduce our footprint, because we know it’s the right thing to do. Our aim is to continue to take proactive steps forward to drive a positive change for both our planet and society to help build a brighter future for all.

Our social value is measured across three main categories:

Our People

Developing skills for the future, equality, health, safety & wellbeing

Our Planet

Climate change, land use, nature loss, freshwater availability

Prosperity

Innovation, employment generation, community, and social vitality

Over the next year as we grow and develop as a business, we have targeted ourselves to work towards achieving a 5% reduction in our total and individual carbon footprint.

Our teams have also been tasked with suggesting ideas to support local communities, schools and charities, and so far, we have managed to donate over £7,000 to worthy causes across the country.
