Applying our stringent health and safety standards, and according to HSE's Code of Practice, AW Construction will review the latest asbestos survey to ensure that the works are undertaken safely.

Strip Out

At AW Construction, we specialise in soft strip demolition for a wide variety of clients throughout the UK

We have many years of experience working on strip out projects in a wide variety of sectors, we know full well that no two projects are the same and that careful and diligent planning is required to ensure the safety and success of each job we are engaged to complete.

As specialist strip out contractors we can help with residential, industrial, and commercial properties whether that be a partial removal of elements of the building or a full strip out back to the bare bones and fabric of the building.

We pride ourselves on not only being able to complete your strip out project in a timely manner but also ensure that all risk assessments and thorough project plans and programmes are in place before any works start. Health & Safety is our top priority on every single job we undertake, and we always strive to exceed HSE directives in this area.

All this completed by our inhouse teams covering a wide range of trades from strip out specialists, electricians, plumbers, HVAC specialists, carpenters, brick layers, labourers and more. Coupled with our extensive fleet of vehicles you can be sure that no matter how restrictive your site maybe we will be able to remove your strip out waste!

Having undertaken projects ranging from a few hundred square feet to tens of thousands we fully understand the complexities of carrying out such works, especially in live environments such as shopping centres, educational establishments, housing, travel arrival and departure sites and much more.

Our clients’ environmental concerns over waste from such projects are becoming ever more apparent in the works we complete, and we pride ourselves on working collaboratively with them to address these issues and find ways to reduce on site waste, recycling opportunities or sourcing

Commencing a project in the right manner is key to its success and our reputation. We ensure that each site is correctly set up with appropriate welfare facilities and personal protective equipment. During each project, our Site Managers undertake site inductions to all operatives as well as safety talks and correct tool usage demonstrations. This includes but is not limited to; issuing all operatives with a brand new mask ensuring that they go through and are certified to the Face Fitting standards as set out by HSE , PASMA & IPAF training for erecting scaffold towers and operating mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers (CPCS) , installing fall prevention and protection systems, removing asbestos containing materials (ACM’s), undertaking environmental cleans, and obtaining hot works permits if appropriate.

White Boxing

Creating a blank canvas

‘White boxing’ a premises can be stressful and time-consuming for an existing tenant or managing agent. However, it has significant benefits when attracting a new client into a clean and fresh workspace or commercial unit, where they don't have to bear the cost to reinstate a blank white boxed unit.

At AW Construction, we specialise in white box works for a wide variety of clients throughout the UK and have become renowned for our swift and proactive attitude. It’s an approach that has helped us deliver 100’s of projects as a business, combining a mixture of new and repeat business across the retail industry.

Due to the retention of our directly employed, highly skilled and experienced staff, including Project and Site Managers, Surveyors, procurement teams and our on-site specialists, we can quickly react to a client's instructions and be on-site at short notice.

Operating as your Principal Contractor, we can control the project from start to finish, allowing us to provide the high level of service and product you have come to expect from AW Construction, on programme and on budget.

By receiving a scope of works directly from our clients, we ensure that the correct information is passed directly to the site, meaning that the right service is delivered without miscommunication. Where a client may not know what they require from a white boxing they can rely on our years of industry knowledge to provide a scope best suited to their needs and any terms of exiting a lease.

Our in-house team will undertake all the required works. These might include adaptions to concrete floors, forming timber or metal stud partitions, installing mechanical and electrical services, drylining and

Utilising our secure storage facilities, we can look after our client's fixtures and fittings or any materials they may have sourced direct whilst we undertake the works on site, keeping them safe and clean.

A ‘white box’ project could be a single unit, two units sited next to each other opened to provide a larger space, or a larger unit split individually into smaller units depending on your requirements – something we see more and more of within the ever-changing retail sector and projects we are completing for many large shopping centres where they realise that brands no longer require the traditional larger spaces of yesteryear.

The incoming tenant will be treated to a blank canvas awaiting their fit out teams or, as in previous cases, engaging our services for the Shop Fitting aspect of their project.

Alternatively, we can finish to differing requirements erecting walls, ceilings, builders' work to concrete floors, exterior facades, and brickwork all completed by AW Construction’s team of directly employed tradespeople.

Existing walls are made good; holes, marks and imperfections will be filled and decorated by our trained professionals. We will protect new installations, flooring (new tiled or floor coverings) and windows before commencing decorating.

Furthermore, we will ensure that the latest building regulations and/or requirements are achieved, including emergency exit lighting and smoke and heat alarms where required.

However, we are always happy to work with any existing incumbent contractors for the reinstatement of/for temporary lighting, security, fire, and sprinkler systems. Alternatively, we can offer our services with all

Banking

The safe removal, refit and refurbishment within banking establishments

AW Construction has become a leading force in the installation of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), Immediate Deposit Machines (IDMs) and Teller Cash Recycler (TCRs) across the United Kingdom.

Trusted and partnered with some of the largest financial powerhouses in the UK, we have built a first-class reputation based on service, aptitude, trustworthiness, professionalism and organisation.

And it’s this organisation of the process where we take most credit. It has allowed us to install / decommission over 1,000 devices over the past few years.

With years of experience, AW Construction has taken over all the manual elements of work on site allowing us to offer what is effectively a one stop turnkey solution for our clients.

We know there's often a small window of opportunity for the works our clients require to commence, our knowledge and capability have seen us awarded national rollouts by some of the most prestigious names in the sector.

Our dedicated, skilled and professional teams across the United Kingdom move from project to project, delivering our consistent high-level service and time served knowledge.

Each project is unique, whether it is a free-standing machine, a through the wall (TTW) machine set into brick or stone, through a shop front window or curtain walling, next to a petrol station forecourt or by a busy supermarket pedestrian entrance.

Project Planning – with many institutions having a High Street presence the planning stage of any ATM works is exhaustive. Architectural surveys, asbestos surveys, obtaining pavement licences for delivery of machines, liaising with local councils, creating specific workbooks for every single branch or outlet, programming a framework of ATM works across the country so that our teams arrive on site on the exact day are all requirements that need to be undertaken prior to commencing works.

More importantly and this is what sets us apart, is engaging with each individual branch or client site so that they and we have a thorough understanding of the works that are proposed.

Site Management - precise preparation guarantees that we arrive on-site with everything needed, including the machines (which can be delivered to us in advance for storage in our secure facilities), our ATM site manager takes control of the premises making sure that our installations and refits are always secure. We ensure that we always have any client specific elements, ATM Collars, Branding Vinyl, or color matched flooring and decorative items delivered to our stores well in advance of all works commencing.

Our core values are in causing as little impact to our client’s sites as possible. We insist all of our staff maintain high health and safety standards. Something which we excel at.

Social Housing

From disabled adaptations to voids repairs

We have been carrying out a wide range of services both in the private and public sector for local authorities and social housing operators across Kent and the Southeast. With contracts ranging from planned and reactive maintenance for Hastoe Housing to Disabled Adaptations for Canterbury City Council.

Our years of experience gives us a greater understanding of the challenges and complexities for delivering planned or reactive maintenance within this sector. Our team has the expertise and experience to deliver large scale upgrades, fit outs, repairs, internal and external decoration, window replacement, mechanical and electrical services, and fire door installations.

Our approach minimises any disruption for residents, prioritises their health and safety along with any safeguarding issues, and ensures they are kept informed about the project’s progress and any questions are responded to. This is achieved through our resident liaison officers who are highly experienced and skilled in working on social housing frameworks.

Here at AW Construction our directly employed operatives are easily identifiable when working for our clients along with a fleet of vans that carry everyday stock items often associated with reactive maintenance requirements, allowing for a “First time fix” approach.

We believe that robust aftercare support is essential in providing an excellent service. Every repair we complete is signed off by our customers before the operative leaves. Any issues are managed proactively to ensure we deliver a first time fix, adopting a right first time approach.

For responsive repairs we carry out customer satisfaction surveys to ensure tenants are happy with the standard and quality of service they have received. We seek to learn from complaints, to make sure that as a

This level of customer care and communication has gained us a lot of recognition with the local authorities we work with. With a happy and informed tenant, the whole project flows more smoothly reducing the chance of any issues.

As well as being members of Construction Line, all of our operatives assigned to these projects are DBS checked and receive regular training in diversity and inclusion.

Ethos and Culture - We cultivate an open and honest culture throughout our business. This means that our customers receive a clear and transparent service whilst our staff feel engaged and integral to our business, helping promote longevity of service.

We are able to match our workforce to each project within the local authority due to the directly employed, highly trained workforce we have at our disposal. This places us in a unique position and is at the forefront of our work within the community for local authorities. They are experts at undertaking the works we carry out and delivering them to AW Construction’s highest levels of finish.

Community Investment – AW Construction takes an active role within our community and works to give back whilst supporting local charities, events and initiatives.

As a company, we are always looking to recruit local labour/ trades and source materials close to our projects to aid our drive to reduce our carbon footprint and to promote and support local businesses and services.

Design & Build

We can offer a complete inhouse service

At AW Construction, we love to take pride in our work, leaving a legacy where we can stand back, look at what we built and proudly announce ‘we did this.'

However, we understand that without the right people on board getting to that point can be extremely stressful and full of pitfalls, whether a planning submission is refused, or the budget seems to have a life of its own as costs spiral.

This is why we offer our full design and build package on a wide range of facilities, including retail and commercial units, non-residential, and residential homes on behalf of local authorities and land owner/developers. Our works cover from complete newbuilds to extensions and renovations.

As construction experts, our experienced in-house management teams can take all the stress and hassle out of the entire process for you, we work closely with our clients to learn and fully understand their requirements and expectations at the concept stage. Then, whether engaging in the land acquisition, commencing planning drawings or managing the detailed design process, AW Construction will ensure that your requirements and visions are achieved.

By working closely with our design teams, we can ensure that value for money is met at every corner and that the best return on investment is realised. So, whatever your budget, vision, driving factors are, we have them covered.

We will manage the project from start to finish. Initially, the architects will manage the teams through the design stages from concept to full submission, engaging with the local planning departments as the design progresses. Once planning permission is granted, the design process continues as we manage the consultant team through to a set of

In addition to the usual suspects, architects, civil engineers, structural engineers and landscaping architects, more consultants may be required to be engaged to comply with any planning obligations and building regulations, such as fire, acoustic, archaeology, ecology and environmental.

Utilising our in-house team of Quantity Surveyors, Senior Estimators and Buyers, we will ensure that the market is tested to get the best value on the project, initially looking to use our own inhouse multi trade workforce to give best value for money.

Once the designs are agreed our Project Managers will continue to oversee the project during construction working alongside experienced site managers. Once the designs are complete and any pre-start planning conditions have been discharged, our Site Managers will prepare the project for commencement. To keep our operatives safe on-site and comply with regulations, we will install the correct welfare and health and safety measures before starting any pre-commencement works such as asbestos removal, environmental cleans and demolition of existing buildings.

Working closely with the Project Manager and commercial teams, our trained and experienced Site Managers will be ever-present on the project to ensure that the project is built correctly. In addition, they will liaise with the local authorities, building control and building warranty for site visits and inspections, where stage sign-offs are required.

National Rollouts

We are ready to go with any nationwide refit or refurbishment campaign

AW Construction has been undertaking national roll outs for many retailers’ financial institutions, government departments, restaurants, and wellknown supermarket chains. We can ensure that our high-quality service is uniform, regardless of location, and, therefore, the uniformity of your brand or project remains intact.

Our diligent in-house team can and will carry out a multitude of tasks whether we have been given a detailed brief by our client or are asked to carry a true one stop service by providing initial site surveys, full building surveys, site investigations on the project, putting together a scope and programme of works, procurement of materials – all just a small part of what we do day in day out, 365 days a year. We know that no two sites are the same and can offer their own unique challenges – this is where we at AW Construction excel. Preparation is key to our seamless operation.

When our project team arrives on-site, they will have everything they need to complete a fit out, facelift or installation – more importantly they will have been briefed extensively beforehand so that any questions they may have been dealt with offsite rather than when they are on site.

In addition, some materials can be held in one of our secure storage facilities prior to commencing work, we can also manufacture items off site ready for installation reducing the time a commercial space maybe out of operation.

Our on-site team is supported by the commercial and off-site operational teams, who ensure that everything is checked and then cross-checked ready for work to commence. This means once we start a project we can be in and out of a location in the specified time allocated to the project. We are used to carrying out works out of hours to minimise disruption to daily operations, particularly relevant should you have a space within a

It’s worth considering that not all roll out campaigns are the same, as much as new signage and branding may catch the eye, we work across many elements. You may be considering a roll out of new EPOS systems, changes to store frontage, complete re-plans of interiors, updating chiller cabinets, banks or building societies they maybe closing, redecoration or refurbishment, all things that we are doing day in day out for clients right across the country.

Some facilities may be aging and need upgrading to comply with the latest regulations and safety. This may include electrical and mechanical elements, fire compartmentations or replacement of combustible materials, the implementation of ramps, railings, and level thresholds to comply with The Disability Discrimination Act.

There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint, new tiling, replacing carpets and ceilings to give any store a fresh and modern finish. So, whether it is the refit of a store, replacing banking machines like ATMs, store rebranding, or upgrading existing facilities for the latest incentives, marketing campaigns or environmentally friendly refill and recycling stations, we have been there and done it.

AW Construction is also well versed in working across national roll out campaigns with existing incumbent contractors, our skills in planning and programming works ensure that everyone turns up on the day and more importantly the correct time. Whether that be contractors for security, sprinkler or fire and smoke systems, or any other trades which you may employ nationally. Alternatively, we can offer our own services to cover these crucial areas.

From student accommodation to office blocks

Our specialist knowledge of the refurbishment trade has seen us grow significantly over the years, our long-standing clients return to us time and time again because they recognise and value our blend of practical capability and customer-facing skills, something we demonstrate with every refurbishment project we undertake, whether that be a one off or a long running framework, national rollout campaign.

Case Study – Shop Fitting

Strip Out - White Boxing - to completed Champion store

AW Construction began works to strip out an existing Diesel store within a large shopping centre. The scope of the project was to ensure that a fully stripped out and white boxed unit was completed on time to allow the incoming retailer Champion to commence their fit out with their chosen contractor.

Whilst we were part way through our works for Diesel, management staff from Champion attended site to survey their new store. Contact details were exchanged and, due to the great work Champion witnessed, safe working site, considerate and approachable staff, we received notification we could tender for the fit out works. Following the tender process, AW Construction were awarded the fit out works for Champion. From an already white boxed unit to a store ready to receive merchandise, the skill of our construction team and management of the project ensured that the challenges that presented themselves were dealt with in an efficient and professional manner.

As the principal contractor on this project, we worked closely with our client to ensure the detail and changes they required to handover a finished store were met. Works included construction of new walls, 1st and 2nd fix M&E, carpentry, ventilation, cabling, flooring, remodelling of existing back of house and changing rooms, brick slip feature walls, FF&E installation.

Whilst on site we had a Health & Safety Audit carried out by client appointed Pick Everard and are proud to share their feedback - “There were no negative observations to report. The site was well run and organised”

As this store had lain vacant for some time, retesting of the service and goods lifts had to be undertaken so that we could be assured of the safe transportation of materials from one floor to another. Various external works had to be undertaken outside of the shopping centre opening hours to minimise the disruption to the public. This store is sited opposite a major bus stop route and is also connected to several high-profile retail food outlets. The logistical requirements of entering and exiting the service area also had to be considered as several major road routes encompass the site – all covered well in advance of starting on site with a detailed logistics plan

Case Study – White Boxing

Multi-unit project delivering completed units ready for occupation

At AW Construction we like a challenge and when we were approached by one of our existing clients to whitebox 3 separate units at one of their designer shopping outlets we jumped at the opportunity to showcase our skills once more. As we had already completed projects at the same site, we were well qualified to take on such a complex task.

Works within these three units included the division of an existing two floor unit into two separate levels, the separation of all services such as electric, HVAC & sprinklers into two separate feeds for the two separate floors, strip out existing partition walls, removal of existing racking, installation of steel goalpost and metal deck to fill in the resulting void. We managed a logistical challenge of getting both the concrete and screed pumped up to the first floor by creating a route which included several scaffolds and ran a 100m pump safely to its destination. Other works included, the safe removal of a glass balustrade at the end of the open first floor, replacing this with a 4m high by 8m wide 2-hour fire wall and fire stopping all existing walls and ceiling. AW Construction also installed a new stud wall, 22m in length, levelling off what was a disjointed unit. Installation of a new raft ceiling, incorporating recessed lights, a new HVAC system fitted with vents sited in a small upstand to the sides to be hidden, giving a minimalistic look. Levelling a sloping floor to accommodate a new engineered oak wooden floor, Install new ac condenser units in the underground car park below. As always, this project was completed on time and on budget and has allowed us to build a strong relationship with this client.
