The Construction Consultants (TCC) invest in new Birmingham HQ

An independently owned and managed, multi-disciplined construction consultancy has moved to new offices in Birmingham city centre as it meets the demands of a growing portfolio of clients.

The Construction Consultants (TCC) have moved to Ingleby House, 11 Cannon Street, from its previous headquarters at Grosvenor House, St Paul’s Square, to accommodate its growing team.

TCC has delivered a variety of schemes for leading developers, including Travelodge, Subway, Starbucks in Swindon for Loc8 Developments, a range of high end student accommodation for Zone Developments in Leicester, Shirley Police Station and Oakview on behalf of MIA Properties.

The business, which was recently appointed to deliver a 113 unit PRS development and 120 room Travelodge in Southampton for CHG Property Development, has also won a raft of new clients over the past 12 months across residential, student accommodation, commercial/leisure, retail and industrial sectors.

Director, Alex Pimley, says it has now put in place a strategic growth programme, while maintaining strong relationships with its existing clients.

“We launched the consultancy in 2017 with a desire to do things a little differently by providing our clients with a more personal service. The past 12 months have been particularly busy for us. We have successfully attracted new clients across the country in new and existing sectors and seen a 200% increase in repeat business,” he said.

“We were keen to maintain our headquarters and invest further in Birmingham because there is a thriving commercial property sector and the city benefits from excellent transport links, which are convenient for our national clients. We also have the flexibility to grow further within Ingleby House as we win more business. We’re looking forward to the next chapter in our growth.”

TCC specialises in a wide range of sectors and disciplines, including project management, employer’s agent, quantity surveying, development / fund monitoring and CDM consultancy. Its directors have a vision for TCC to be the leading privately owned and managed construction consultancy in the UK.

Hotel

Listed hotel refurbished by construction consultancy

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.”
