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. Our partnering mentality is ideal for those who wish us to become involved from an early stage, which can often result in cost reduction of other trades such as steelwork, masonry, etc.

We have extensive experience of working within a range of sectors.

Longworth rolls out their new commercial fleet from Mercedes 22 Feb 2017

 

A new look commercial fleet

Longworth has recently undergone a branding transformation throughout the company including their new commercial fleet. Longworth has simplified their branding by dropping ‘Building Services Ltd’ from their marketing collateral. This simplified approach to their brand name is complemented by a subtle colour palette and clean, linear design. The new branding can be seen throughout the company from their new website to their compliments slips. Longworth teamed up with Sheffield’s The Black Eye Project to curate and deliver the new brand identity. Their history of disruptive creative design as well as their ability to easily interpret a brief made them a clear winner to partner with.

The fleet

Longworth have worked in collaboration with Roanza Truck and Van in Warrington, a franchsied Mercedes-Benz dealer. Roanza listened and understood the needs of Longworth and understood the business requirements early on to provide them with unrivalled service. Roanza expertly coordinated the delivery of the new vehicles to coincide with the return of the previous fleet over a staggered period. Their excellent team made the whole process very simple and straight forward.

Longworth’s new fleet of 8 extra long Citan, 2 LWB Vito’s and 1 LWB Sprinter dropside have been wrapped in a new design to reflect their new corporate identity. The striking new design will set them apart and be instantly recognisable on the construction site and on the road. The wrap for the new fleet of commercial vehicles was created by our design partners The Black Eye Project, Sheffield. The wrapping of the vehicles was expertly carried out by Boundary Graphics who are local to Longworth.

Longworth’s new commercial fleet along with their new corporate branding sets a clear statement of intent to be competing at the highest level in the construction industry. Longworth’s sustained period of growth and investment in the development of their employees and corporate identity certainly supports their ambitions.
