BUILD Q3 2019

BUILD Q3 2019 18 May19015 or Simply Construction Group, success has been forged through an unprecedented degree of client-cen- tricity, recognising that the key to creating extraordinary spaces lies, fundamentally, in understanding the client. As a turn-key builder, this becomes all the more important, as they work alongside their clients to produce bespoke projects that fulfil – and exceed – the client brief, as Robert explains. “Our full turn-key solutions are comprised of design services which includes the creations of plans and structural designs through to submission to the relevant council. Once all necessary approvals are gained the project is then handed over to one of our construction teams who will bring the project to life. Each pro- ject will have a designated Project Manager to track and progress each build. For extra piece of mind, all completed projects come with a 10-year warranty and necessary certifications.” From the outset, this high standard of customer service has served to mark the firm as different from their peers, driving their enduring success in an increasingly competitive arena. Indeed, London remains a region of continuous residential development, especially when it comes to conversions, as people look at improving rather than expanding their properties. “We are the only building company in London to have a central customer service team who are on hand to help with any further questions or que- ries on client projects. They regularly spot check live construction sites as well to make sure all projects are being run well. “Ultimately, we try to hold customer care and customer service at the heart of what we do. Our customer service team are on hand to be helpful though whatever stage of the project a client is going through. This is really evident when looking through our testimoni- als as our Customer Service Manager, Marion, is frequently men- tioned. Our construction teams are briefed on making the whole process as easy and least disruptive for the clients as possible.” In addition to that, Simply Construction Group also host an innovative online client-facing dashboard: “the platform is great for monitoring and tracking key project milestones as well as invoicing and receipting payments.

At the end of the day we love what we do and we want to be able to offer this to other parts of the country!
