5 Broadgate is without doubt one of the most complex construction projects in the City, involving the demolition and construction of office facilities in a logistically restricted location. Our experience of developments on constrained sites allowed us to minimise disruption to neighbours and the local community by introducing innovative demolition techniques.
Careful stakeholder management has been vital on this project. Overlooked by three dauntingly high profile neighbours: the existing UBS buildings, Deutsche Bank and ICAP, the site is also just a few metres from Liverpool Street Station, one of the country’s largest transport interchanges.
This project demonstrates our breadth of services across the property lifecycle. We have been involved in the development since as far back as 2007, providing cost consultancy services. This role was then extended to a construction management contract following 12 months of delivering extensive utility diversions, enabling works and preconstruction advice to the client.
