Ropemaker Place stands as one of London’s most sustainable buildings. Delivered on time and 5% under budget, it has garnered numerous awards and widespread acclaim. British Land entrusted us with their ambitious vision for the City of London, appointing us to provide project management, cost consultancy, and construction management services.
Collaborating with renowned architect Arup Associates, our teams supported British Land from land acquisition through to completion. Our construction management team ensured the project was delivered precisely on schedule. Our innovative approach, featuring extensive quality control inspections and compliance regimes before construction began, swiftly identified and addressed potential issues.
Our dedicated employees implemented a creative close-out strategy, fostering one of our most successful client relationships to date. Post-completion, our project management team acted as the landlord's representative during tenant occupation and fit-out.
Despite opening during the global recession, the 87,000 m sq building received sensational acclaim. It won 'Development of the Year', 'Rainwater Harvesting', and 'Soft Landscaping' awards, and the prestigious 'Major Project' accolade at the British Construction Industry (BCI) Awards in 2010.
Sustainability was at the heart of this project, with Ropemaker Place earning the City of London’s first-ever LEED Platinum rating and a BREEAM Excellent score. The building features an energy-saving double-glazed facade, 74 m sq of photovoltaics, and a green roof to enhance biodiversity. We ensured 86% of materials cleared from the site were reused, achieving a 50% reduction in energy and water use. This project exemplifies our unwavering commitment to sustainability and excellence.
