Of course, customer service is a key factor within the businesses and is paramount when dealing with clients. Further, it believes that excellent customer service must go hand in hand with the material and samples that it provides. The end goal is to leave the client with a positive perception of the company – whether Simply Oak™ fulfils the project or not. Simply, it is imperative that each interaction with the customer is professional, communicative, and transparent. Another core element of the company is its devotion to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. Utilising high-quality timber grown from sustainably managed forests that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, Simply Oak™ ensures that it adheres to responsible forest management principles that reflect the company’s standards. In addition, Simply Oak™ guarantees that its products are crafted in an efficient and green manner, using solvent-free, water-based, natural finishes that comply with current environmental law.

Moreover, in recent months, Simply Oak™ has been victim to the rise of shipping and supply chain issues. However, the past two years have also provided the company with numerous successes, including the acquisition of some of its largest projects. Consequently, 2022 is following such trends, as the company is currently working on multiple large-scale commercial projects. Many of these projects will see Simply Oak™ provide over 100,000,00 sq. ft. of material.

BUILD Home Builder Awards 2022 10 Jan22727 Best Residential Home Builders - Warwickshire Based in Stratford-upon-Avon, KSW Developments is a building firm specialising in new builds, extensions, renovations, alterations and all aspects of design, planning and project management. From inception to completion, KSW can fully manage the building process, no matter how large or small the project. wned and led by Kerry Webley, KSW Developments has worked extensively within the building and development sector in the Stratford-upon-Avon area for many years. The firm delivers a professional and friendly building service which has justifiably gained an excellent reputation, with client satisfaction being something on which it prides itself. Being ideally situated in Warwickshire, KSW is able to deliver its building services to surrounding counties and towns, therefore reaching a wider clientele. Not only does KSW undertake all aspects of building projects, but it also offers property maintenance and utility callout services, including plumbing and electrical. This can be useful in the commercial sector and particularly to those with a catalogue of properties to manage. KSW provides a one-stop shop for all of these needs. KSW’s first project of this year is well underway in Wooten Wawen: it includes a two-storey rear kitchen extension, a single-storey lounge area, and a new oak porch on the front of the property. There will also be internal alterations. From the offset, this project has seen various challenges, including difference in ground levels, a stream to the rear of the property, the mains foul going straight through the footing line, and made up ground at 800cm deep. The firm’s ground working team excavated down two metres, shuttering each 1.2m section as they went. Once dug, the teams from Easy Lay Concrete and Cotswold Concrete Pumping came and poured the footings. The KSW team has now built up the block work and put all the new drainages in ready to start building. As highlighted by this project, the groundworks can be very tricky and dangerous on some jobs. At KSW, safety and good workmanship are key to successfully progressing projects. Another project, started in October 2020 and finished in April 2021, involved the refurbishment of a property into a stunning contemporary home. The first six weeks of this project were spent taking down all the interior walls to insert the first six steels creating the new open plan living area. This included a galleried seating area on the landing with stunning views of the Warwickshire countryside. Meanwhile, the new opening for the bi-folding doors measured at a whopping six metres – the firm’s biggest yet. The team then got to work on the roof, stripping off the old pan tiles and replacing them with a new pitched slate roof, complete with dormer windows. O Once the building was watertight for the winter, the teams from LGW Electrical Services and Norton Electrical got to work on the electrics. KSW’s inhouse plumbing team then started to fit the pipework for the bathroom and two ensuites with new 250L unvented cylinder and built-in skirting board heating system. Once these key areas were completed, the KSW plastering team finished the walls. The new Wren kitchen was fitted by the firm’s carpenters and is a magnificent accompaniment which really matches the property and is a true focal point of this refurbishment: grey gloss tower units, a beautiful centre island with copper trim and induction hob fitted in. The main bathroom is luxurious and spacious, with a freestanding bath which commands attention. All ensuites were finished with built-in toilets, sinks, vanity units and chrome towel rails. When work began on the new galleried area, which when viewed from the front is the central point of the property, the second fix of the plumbing and electrical work was well underway by the respective teams. A new oak staircase was then installed, complete with glass balustrades and upstairs balcony area to relax and take in the views from the front of the property. The glazing then marked a major final part of the project, pulling everything together. Supplied and fitted by AM Home Improvements, it was all finished in anthracite aluminium – a sleek and modern finish. Once the glazing was complete, the team from SJM Plastering Services came in and finished off the building’s exterior with a chalk white Webber silicone-based render. The client also asked for some landscaping improvement, so KSW laid a grey Indian sandstone patio with chalk white rendered walls. Designed by Mark at ArchiWildish, this beautiful home is a perfect example of great design and good building contractors coming together, working effectively to produce a high-end finish with exceptional attention to detail.

We add this information into our project plan before initiating the project using APMP methodologies.” This enhances JAS’ working relationships with management and key stakeholders from the ground up. The firm’s customers praise its project managers for the ease and clarity of communication throughout projects. This covers regular updates, touch points, and review meetings, which enable openness of progress, risks and variables to help the team manage the project and client expectations. As mentioned, the industry is under immense pressure due to the national shortages in materials, as well as skilled labour. Finding skilled labour has become sparse, which has resulted in increased demand for subcontractors which cost a premium. Material costs have risen significantly and extended lead times have played havoc with what was previously considered reasonable project timelines. However, there is now a focus on eco-friendly building techniques which are becoming more achievable with modern technology and material breakthroughs. The compound affect of the above factors means that building companies will need to be highly competent, more organised and agile in their approach to delivering projects. It isn’t as easy as it was prior to the pandemic, which has made the industry stronger and more competitive as a result. JAS strives to lead from the front with this transformation by focusing on delivering project management that works, every time. JAS is now looking ambitiously towards the future, which is undoubtedly looking bright. It has successfully been awarded a design and build project and a new-build project. Both of these are very exciting for the firm as it continues on its journey of growth throughout 2022. It also plans to evolve its systems through further systemisation, education of staff, and focus on its company vision. Andrew said, “There is a huge opportunity for growth in 2022 with the right market positioning and investments. “We are aiming to grow our company capability quite considerably by enhancing our management team and employing more teams of tradesmen including subcontractors.” Company: JAS Building Services Contact: Andrew Sperring Email: [email protected] Website: www.jasbuildingservices.co.uk AS Building Services’ aim is simple: to build with quality, provide peace of mind, and improve people’s homes.

JAS loves taking on high-end residential renovation projects and recently completed a project whereby the team had to completely renovate a property in Stoke Bishop, Bristol. This included structural alterations, creating four bathrooms, loft conversion, bespoke glazed staircase, custom fireplaces, and a rear wraparound extension. During this project, challenges were faced with the supply chain due to national material shortages and extended lead times caused by the pandemic. The firm worked to overcome this using its APMP project management techniques, carefully recording project risks and rescheduling the project programme to accelerate areas where possible. Also, the client made various changes which were absorbed within the contract to ensure the team delivered the project to a high-quality standard. Andrew commented, “We are particularly proud of the bespoke items which we designed. We designed the two fireplace/media centres, all bathrooms and glazed staircase, which are all key features in the finish of the property.” Communication is key to everything in project management.

For Simply Construction Group, the past few years have had many ups and downs, with the pandemic creating an unforeseen boom in the industry and thus, companies within this sector must adapt. Robert explains what the business has gone through stating, “Because of the pandemic, many homeowners were looking to expand the space they have available in their homes. As a result, we have had to adapt to a huge increase in demand by recruiting and expanding our team with extra, vetted trades to meet higher volumes.” Currently, for Simply Construction Group, the company is excited to be working outside of London and within the West Midlands, of which the reputation and client base of the company is expanding rapidly. For now, Simply Construction Group is looking to expand across other cities within the country as an overall greater goal and will be investing in its architectural services along with its team providing another exceptional service for its clients and contractors. Recognised as England’s Design & Build Specialists of the Year, Simply Construction Group is -simply- the best. Company: Simply Construction Group Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.simplyconstructiongroup.co.uk or Simply Construction Group, the company is established within a notoriously stressful and challenging industry. Therefore, the company aims to simplify residential construction projects and simplify the process for clients. Robert Wood, Director of Simply Construction Group, depicts the innovative business methodology, stating, “We have created a professional approach to the industry with our online dashboard system for clients to track and monitor their projects with dedicated customer service and operation teams. This approach means we comfortably deliver hundreds of projects per year across London and the West Midlands.” Last year, the company worked on several interesting projects, with one adjoining neighbour on a street in Tooting, South London, under its sister brand, Simply Loft. With this collaboration, the company developed two loft conversions, both with a ‘simply elegant’ design for stunning roof terraces – a feature that went down well with clients. In addition, the company was able to complete these projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant that clients could have an outdoor space to utilise during the midst of the lockdowns, which proved extremely valuable in London, where space is at a premium. In addition to the beautiful outdoor spaces added to these lofts, the projects also included two additional bedrooms and a bathroom to each home, creating a significant amount of space within the flat that was very much utilised and appreciated during the various lockdowns. Robert expands on this, stating, “Working on neighbouring properties means that cost savings can be made for the clients as one team can be used across both properties and materials and scaffolding prices can be negotiated as one, with savings passed onto the clients. One point of call for both neighbours is also a huge advantage communication-wise.” For Simply Construction Group, when taking on new projects, the company begins with an introduction and starter pack implemented from the team. Within these two critical pieces of formality, the company provides valuable information regarding points of contact, paperwork needed to start the build, emergency contact and information on the company’s processes and general FAQs. Robert adds to this, explaining, “Our clients have a day-to-day Design & Build Specialists of the Year - England Established as a design and build specialist within separate divisions (Simply Loft, Simply Extend and Simply Basement), Simply Construction Group covers their own specialism such as loft conversions, home extensions and basement conversions.

BUILD Home Builder Awards 2022 16 Jan22251 wiktech is a brand new way of looking at the fabrication of metalwork. The team have taken an approach that puts a whole new spin on this essential part of the construction industry, allowing people with minimal skills to get involved. Instead of depending on centuriesold techniques, the firm has pushed boldly forward through stateof-the-art technology and cutting edge manufacturing. The success of the team’s approach comes from an attitude that embraces practicality above all else. The genius of the team’s design is that it simplifies construction. When using Kwiktech, there is no manufacturing, welding, metal preparation, painting, specialist tools or squaring up required. The Kwiktech connection is concealed within the hollow metal, the size of which depends on either the cosmetic demands of the design or its engineering requirements. In larger hollow metal sections, multiple Kwiktech connections can be used. Engineering is simply calculated from the extensive certified testing results of the Kwiktech connection with load, tension and compression forces. Each Kwiktech design is bespoke-developed for a specific purpose and this allows for the creation of an easy-to-follow DIY build manual. The team relies on many different companies to draft and engineer these robust designs. Each has mastered the utilisation of Kwiktech over the years, ensuring they have been able to reach new heights of success. The team also depend on detailed customer feedback to inform further innovation with a focus on continuous improvement from conception to completion. The approach of Kwiktech has always been to make products that are accessible to all and can be used by anyone. Since the launch of the business, Kwiktech’s main focus has been on the DIY market and this is a segment of the construction industry that has thrived over the last two years due in no small part to the COVID-19 pandemic. That said, the pandemic has also seen the cost of materials rise significantly which has presented its own challenges. Balancing the needs of the market at this difficult time has been far from straightforward, but crucial to achieving success. The team have developed numerous solutions for their clients over the years, ranging from a recent staircase design that saw the Kwiktech connection concealed within the hollow metal itself through to their most recent project where they are currently developing a freestyle Motocross ramp. The incredible range of projects the team are constantly looking to develop is part of the key to their remarkable success. When people turn to the Kwiktech team, they do so because they know that they will receive a cost-effective, simple to build fabrication solution. Their work is of the highest calibre, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is available within the industry. Kwiktech’s versatility within both the construction sector and the DIY market means that not only are the components built to withstand the toughest conditions, but the business is too.
