Pre-Construction Advice

Our team can provide valuable product and design advice at any stage of a project. With years of experience and long-standing relationships with product manufacturers, our engineers ensure that projects remain within budget without compromising architectural integrity.

Project Management

We utilise a collaborative project management programme to ensure we deliver projects on time, within budget, and most importantly, safely.

Fabrication

Our in-house fabrication service can deliver a wide range of high quality bespoke roofing and cladding solutions, utilising computerised folding and cutting machinery to ensure a precise and consistent end product.

Design

The latest computerised design systems equip our design team with the ability to provide clients, architects and main contractors with a complete plan for the construction project. For the more intricate designs, we have the facilities to produce a 3D image to assist with the design. All of our designers have been trained up to BIM Level 2.

Planning

For each project we provide a strict planning service. This includes producing detailed plans, method statements and risk assessments. The end result is a structured project following a critical path. We communicate with the client at every step of the way and our contracts manager is assigned to oversee the project, co-ordinating between the client, design, and site teams.

Commercial

We commit ourselves to providing the most economical service available. We are not tied into any one supplier or system which means value engineering is always available.

Brown Street, Manchester

30 Brown Street is an extensive refurbishment of a five-storey building in the heart of Manchester including a new 7,500 sq ft roof-top floor, along with a retail unit on the ground floor, delivering 48,000 sq ft of Grade A office space with exposed services. Designed by PRP Architects and project managed by OBI Property, 30 Brown Street is expected to complete by summer 2018. The first phase of works involved the internal strip out and removal of the external envelope, including taking off the original mansard roof and brickwork facade. The skeleton of the building, which is currently hidden behind a protective acoustic wrap is now being modified with the new façade of curtain walling and Dryvit render panels.

Longworth have been appointed by Russells for the detailed design, supply and installation of Sika Sarnafil Single Ply Membrane and PPC Aluminium Cappings. This is the first in a long line of Sika Sarnafil projects for Longworth after recently becoming a registered installer.
