We at Valor have been nothing but impressed with Now Construction. From the bid stage to the delivery stage, they demonstrate a reactive and collaborative approach that makes it easy for us as a client. Their tender submissions are constantly of a high-quality, and they provide pricing for jobs that they can deliver on.
The delivery teams are highly experienced, proactive, and professional meaning they can deliver an excellent product, on-time and to-budget. Furthermore, when a commercial discussion is required, this is done in a prompt and open manner to ensure that the correct decision is made for the good of the project. Overall, Valor would highly recommend Now Construction to any prospective client and our four active projects with Now Construction further backs this sentiment.
We appointed NOW construction through a competitive tender exercise to complete a £1.7M T-Level refurbishment project at one of our college campuses. The project involved refurbishment of classroom spaces alongside more extensive refurbishment to provide a mock training hospital ward, independent living care flat, lecture hall, gaming suite, nutrition suite and health laboratory as well as a new employer zone and learning resource centre.
The project team were responsible for QS activities, programme management, contractor supply, health and safety and building regulation as well as legals on the contract documentation. From appointment, the team involved in the project were knowledgeable and experienced and whilst this was their first project of this type, their experience on other similar projects was evident. They were professional throughout, kept in regular contact with fortnightly meetings attended by relevant personnel, they highlighted risks as we progressed (although nothing major was identified), communicated well in between formal meetings, appointed a dependable and experienced Site Manager and identified suppliers to ensure the project was delivered to the standard required.
The majority of the build project took place over the Summer 2023 and was completed to programme and within budget. It was a pleasure working with the project team involved and I would have no hesitation in recommending NOW Construction to other organisations and would definitely consider them in the future for other similar projects.
We employed Now Construction to convert our existing music block into a performance area with practice rooms. The works consisted of structural alterations, roof extension, reconfiguration of internal spaces, M&E including new ventilation plant, decorations, floor finishes and specialist furniture.
The project was located within the heart of the school which presented significant logistical challenges for the NCL team; however, these were overcome with no impact to the school. I found Chris Evans and the Now Construction team and their supply chain easy to work with, delivering the project on time to a high standard. I have since awarded them further projects across our Academy Trust.
