TCC team had an unforgettable day at Teamworks Karting Birmingham! With such a dynamic format, combining strategy, endurance, and speed, it’s no wonder the event left everyone buzzing. Congratulations to Client Howell, on securing the win, and kudos to Alex Pimley and Delon Sharpe for putting in stellar performances. It’s great to hear that the staff were supportive and helped make the experience seamless. Here’s to more adrenaline-filled adventures for the TCC team in the future!

We have recently finished as a Principal Designer Advisor and Client CDM Advisor for UMC Architects working as Principal Designer on behalf of Firethorn Trust. This was on the ‘Kingston Park South’ project located in Peterborough. This is a 21-acre site located 2 miles from junction 17 of the A1(M). The project consisted of the design and construction of three industrial units (94,225 sqft, 139,915 sqft, and 240,830 sqft) that together make up 474,970 sqft of flexible logistics space.

The units benefit from a clear internal height of 15m, up to 52.5-yard depth and 3MVA of power. Delivered to net-zero carbon in construction and gaining BREEAM “Excellent”, the infrastructure features more than 40,000 sqft of photovoltaic arrays and 48 electric vehicle charging points.

UMC Architects were appointed by Firethorn Developments Ltd and were subsequently novated to support Glencar Construction who were the Main Contractor for this project. It was a pleasure to complete yet another successful project supporting UMC Architects as well as the rest of the project team etc.

The Construction Consultants (TCC) has handed over a new Costa Coffee drive thru outlet in Gloucestershire.

The multi-disciplined construction consultancy has delivered the new single storey unit on the site of the former Cross Keys Inn, on Bath Road in Hardwicke.

The development includes a mono-pitched roof with a mixture of coloured render, timber cladding and powder coated aluminium panels, and comprises 26 car parking spaces and associated landscaping.

TCC was involved in the development from inception to practical completion and provided project management, employer’s agent, cost management and design services on behalf of client, Loc8 Developments.

It is the second recent development that the consultancy has delivered for Loc8 Developments, having completed work on a new four storey Travelodge hotel in Swindon, that includes a bar cafe, drive thru Subway and a standalone drive thru Starbucks.

Co-founder and Director of TCC, Alex Plimmer, said: “We’re fortunate to have developed a successful working relationship with the team at Loc8 Developments, which is enabling us to deliver projects for high-calibre brands such as Costa Coffee and Travelodge.

“It’s an exciting partnership and we’re looking forward to working with Loc8 Developments again in the future.”

Mark Kennedy, Managing Director of Loc8 Developments, said: “I have really enjoyed working with TCC, they have provided a super job. I am very keen to do more projects together.”

Multi-disciplined firm, The Construction Consultants (TCC) has overseen the interior refurbishment of a 19th-century hotel in the medieval grounds of Abingdon Abbey.

TCC spent eight weeks managing the renovation of the Grade II-listed Cosners House for the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

The Birmingham-based consultancy occupied the positions of project manager, principal designer, cost manager and employer’s agent and was involved in the project from its inception to completion.

Works included the full refurbishment of the main reception, 13 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and communal areas in the Orchard wing.

The renovation was undertaken by award-winning interior designers, Studio Fourteen Interiors Limited.

TCC and Studio Fourteen have since collaborated again on  £1.5million refurbishment of residential units in Birmingham city centre for Singapore-based Equity Ventures Enterprises Limited.

A total of 46 flats were stripped out and re-fitted in the Charlotte Street development which now benefits from feature stairs and a light flooded atrium entrance hall.

Sandeep Singh Sunner, Co-founder and Director of TCC, said: “We were thrilled to have taken on such a unique project as the refurbishment of Abingdon Abbey and are satisfied with the high standard of the work delivered.”

Andrew Cramphorn, Project Director at Baxter Storey which operates the facility,  said: “The team at TCC integrated well into Baxter Storey’s delivery team and our mutual client.”
