We pride ourselves on a personalised delivery approach, tailored specifically to meet our clients’ needs. We partner our clients throughout the project life-cycle, ensuring that a project plan is established well before pre-construction; bringing together a winning team of consultants, contractors and suppliers who will deliver the project brief successfully. We undertake a thorough risk review of the building or site pre-design and feasibility to ensure that quality control checks occur throughout the programme, mitigating future risk.
By preparing bespoke project process handbooks for clients, and ensuring that the industry’s best-practice processes are followed, such as the RIBA work stages, we ensure that key deliverables and correct information align to allow clients to make informed decisions that will maximize efficiency and value.
Our extensive experience in the market means we have a substantial benchmarking database of information from consultants, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers, allowing us to suggest innovative procurement routes that support clients with feasibility and financial appraisal analysis.

P20 Residential Development
01 AimTo construct a 66-storey residential tower adjoining a 20-storey hotel and a 33-storey residential tower (including a school).
02 ActionWe provided the initial Order of Cost estimates to support a number of scheme options and guide the project’s financial appraisal. We also presented detailed cost plans to support the planning submission and scheme viability.
03 OutcomeWe actively managed construction costs throughout the design process which helped produce a more efficient scheme which is currently submitted for planning.
We have been responsible for the project’s entire cost management programme - from the initial brief through to the planning submission. We provided a significant number of cost options together with sensitivity analysis, with a specific focus on the options best suited to the financial appraisal.
Once a scheme had been set we attended workshops with the design team to ensure there was synergy between the design and cost plans. Our considerable experience in the development of high-rise buildings in central London meant we were able to identify potential areas of concern with the
design and ensure they were captured early in the process, thus avoiding unnecessary re-design and time delays.

P24 Private Rented Sector
01 AimTo assist the client in delivering a number of wide ranging and exciting projects, from high rise private rented sector schemes to short lease development sites across London.
02 ActionThe fast-paced nature of these projects meant we needed to quickly familiarise and align our delivery methodology and working knowledge of the client’s business needs. We continue to review and advise on their procurement strategies, consultant appointments and identify areas of efficiency improvements as well as introducing standardised documents and reporting across the projects.
03 OutcomeWe have since become a trusted partner of The Collective. Much of the tailored service we provide goes beyond construction project management, but is essential to delivery of each of their developments. We currently have six projects under construction due to complete in 2016 with two more to follow.
TowerEight is project managing eight schemes across London including sites in Stratford, Canary Wharf, Acton, two office fit-outs, and three temporary community enhancement projects in Silvertown, Wood Green, and Peckham.
Seven of these schemes will complete in 2016, but the larger projects at Stratford
& Canary Wharf are set for completion over the next two years.
The schemes combine a mixture of traditional RC Frames, prefab modular & panels, modern methods of construction and even shipping containers.

01 AimTo produce a high quality residential scheme as part of Quintain’s Masterplan proposals for Wembley.
02 ActionWe worked closely with the design team to ensure the budget aligned with the client’s design and sales aspirations.
We undertook project benchmarking and unit fit-out models to assess potential cost pressures at each design milestone.
Our specialist expertise in this sector coupled with our up to date market intelligence is invaluable to the success of this project.
03 OutcomeWe are currently delivering over 1 million sq ft of private rented sector development, as part of the Wembley Park Masterplan.
The successful delivery of this project to date having procured the projects within budget parameters in a challenging and rising market has subsequently led to the appointment of TowerEight as project managers on the development of Quintain’s South West Lands.
Emerald Gardens, NW01, was the first plot to commence as part of the North West Lands Masterplan development. Works consist of 475 residential units (141 of which are private rented sector), a gym, commercial space and a landscaped podium with car parking beneath. Construction began in April 2013 and is scheduled to complete on programme in October 2016.

03 OutcomeUpon appointment, we undertook a thorough review of the project and have subsequently formed a strategic delivery plan highlighting the immediate risks to the client which are in the process of being managed and mitigated with the client.
The project is due for completion in 2018.
A new client to TowerEight in 2015, we initially undertook a feasibility to develop a 100,000 sq ft existing concrete frame into 206 private rented sector units as well as office and retail space.
The project has presented some unique challenges particularly the design of the facility. We are now successfully utilising the steel and concrete frame which was previously damaged, maximising the value of the existing structure to assist with the pressures of build costs in the current market.

Having worked with Amsprop for five years, we felt confident in recommending an alternative approach which has reaped significant benefits for the client as reported within the wider market and has repaid the trust shown by Amsprop in their support of our business.
