Industria.
BEFIRST REGENERATION
Location: London
Value: £30m
The revolutionary business space called “Industria” elevates the industrial landscapes in Barking. This cutting-edge development provides top-tier, flexible workspaces in a striking building designed to enhance the local environment whilse setting new sustainability standards.
Fulkers Bailey Russell were appointed during the early months of the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020, providing both Project Management and Cost Management services. Using new and collaborative ways of working with the client and design team, we delivered this innovative and ambitious approach to modern industrial design.
Throughout the construction period, we developed robust processes to tackle challenges around long lead times, inflationary pressures, and subcontractor insolvency to deliver the project on time and within budget.
Industria won ‘Commercial Project of the Year’ at the London Construction Awards 2024 with the judges commenting “the project is an innovative and elegant design solution and a very exciting use of industrial land, inherently sustainable with a powerful visual impact.”
Following Industria’s success in the London Construction Awards, it also won the Workplace Category in the New London Awards (NLA) 2024 for its bold commitment to blending industrial uses with workplace and community spaces.
“The building offers a range of light industrial units and spaces within a contemporary, sustainable structure that can flex and adapt to future requirements. It signifies an innovative new industrial model for the UK, with the potential for national impact in this sector.”

Gilbert House.
37-39 Corn Street is an art deco building comprising 17,000 sq ft and was designed by world-renowned architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, famous for some of the UK’s most prominent landmarks including Battersea Power Station, Liverpool Cathedral, and the iconic red telephone box. It is now owned and managed by IV Real Estate.
The Grade II listed Gilbert House has undergone a £1.5m sympathetic restoration to provide contemporary air-conditioned office floor plates from 2,000 sq ft to 9,500 sq ft.
This has included new windows, fully restored wooden floors with accessible perimeter trucking and period style WCs.

Origin Workspace.
ORIGIN WORKSPACE
Location: Bristol
Value: £7m
Origin Workspace has been designed to meet the needs and aspirations of the modern worker, promoting wellbeing and facilitating teamwork.
The project offers 42,000ft2 of coworking space, including hot-desks, dedicated desks, cellular office space, meeting rooms, event space, and a members’ lounge. A roof terrace allows workers to enjoy the open air and sunlight, as well as stunning views of Bristol. In the members’ lounge, a kitchen and dining area allows for work breaks, networking and socialising.
With its range of spaces, Origin Workspace offers a comfortable and dynamic base and networking hub for local entrepreneurs and start-ups, filling a need in the community and providing a valuable resource for growing businesses.
The project has worked to a fast-paced program. The project team are delivering a strip-out, third floor and roof terrace extension and new curtain walling, finished to full fit-out in a 12-month period right through from project kick-off to occupation. The project has posed many challenges; on-going engagement with local residents and businesses, engaging with local planning authority and developing a design that will set a precedent for future projects.
As part of the planning agreement, there was a brief by Bristol City Council to reduce carbon footprint by 20%. By installing solar panels on the roof, Origin Workspace has offset in excess of 25% of its carbon footprint. Originally the building would have been fully air conditioned with heat exchanges down in the basement, which although would have been effective, would have been inefficient. The decision was taken to switch natural ventilation, with minimal air conditioning in only some areas.
Phase 1 opened at 80% capacity, creating a new community made up of individuals and businesses that have selected either lounge membership, coworking or private office space. Phase 2 finishes in December, and when complete, Origin Workspace will have over 400 desks.
The aim of Origin Workspace was to create something of a legacy with real attention to detail, from the top specification of furniture and fittings throughout, to the breath-taking views from the roof terrace facility.
The strength and success of the space has been recognised by the Insider Media Awards (Winner of Commercial Workplace of the Year) and Bristol Property Awards (shortlisted for the Building Transformation category).

New Sixth Form Centre.
Situated in Southwark, the City of London Academy transformed a derelict brownfield site into a new educational heart for the local community, a project that was delivered in 2006 by members of the our team under previous employment.
Following the success of the Academy, there was a need to expand their current sixth form capacity from 100 to 400 students. We were appointed in 2016 to provide a range of services to support this expansion, having previously been involved in the construction of their head campus building.
The main goal of the project was to create the additional space before the start of the 2017 term, ensuring the project kept within budget and time. The new sixth form was fitted out within the shell and core of a large multi-use building constructed by Telford Homes.
The works were split over two phases: the first phase created an entrance, canteen, classrooms, IT hub, showers and WCs; the second phase delivered a new library/resource centre.

CITY OF LONDON ACADEMY
The Great Hall.
We provided professional services to support the construction and fit-out of a new theatre and associated ancillary spaces for Kent College Canterbury. The design was developed to provide a degree of flexibility in occupancy.
The Great Hall has two modes of operation: assembly for up to 600 and the theatre mode of 350. This is made possible by the use of retractable seating which can be pushed together and concealed behind movable wall panels to create additional foyer space adjacent to the main entrance lobby.
The stage has also been developed to be changeable with movable proscenium panels, maximizing the stage when the Great Hall is being used for music or assembly. Rostra seating has also been provided within the stalls to allow the stage and seating to be reconfigured for a variety of performances.
The Great Hall has a state-of-the-art natural ventilation system utilising a labyrinth constructed under the theatre to draw cold air out of the foundation to ventilate and cool the space.

The City Academy.
CITY OF LONDON & KPMG
Location: London E9
Value: £25m
Sponsored by the City of London Corporation and KPMG, The City Academy opened its doors to its first year intake in 2009. Built in Hackney in East London, on the site of a technology college which closed in 2007 due to its poor performance, the design of The City Academy building had to raise the aspirations of its pupils and its neighbours. We* provided full services.
The Academy was built on a sensitive site due to its vicinity to a grade II* listed building. The works comprised the construction of a school building of 11,000m2, on a 13,500m2 site, including a sports hall, assembly hall, dance studio and dining hall.
The four-storey school building generates natural daylight and ventilation to the building and at the same time emphasising the business orientation that the sponsor wanted to communicate throughout the school’s ethos.
A pragmatic approach to environmental issues produced a naturally ventilated building with an abundance of daylight which takes its heating and cooling from the grounds.
Pupil & Community Engagement We led an engagement programme with the Hackney Community and pupils which was acclaimed at the BSF Awards, winning the category of Innovation in Student Engagement for its inclusion of the ultimate clients: the future pupils.
A fully partnered approach operating open lines of communication and a tight system for decision making allowed the team to bring the project in on time and to budget despite a six month set back when the location of the school changed.
The success of the school has resulted in the recent appointment of the Fulkers team to deliver services for their £2m new sixth form centre.
MRI Suite, The Maudsley Hospital.
We were commissioned by Kings College London of Kings Healthcare Partners, as a joint venture with South London & Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust to refurbish an existing space at The Centre of Neuroimaging Sciences, to provide a new MRI Suite.
Due to the complexity of the equipment and the specialist requirements of the space to house the MRI, we advised the client to procure the contract on a design and build basis, using specialist companies experienced with this type of installation.
In our role, we were responsible for indicative design, preparing employers requirements, cost control, advising on VAT and managing the project through to completion.
Due to the complexity of the project, we were heavily involved in managing a number of stakeholders, including the Radiology Officer, Health and Safety etc.
We were able to provide the high quality medical suite expected of a first class higher education environment in a leading teaching mental health hospital in Central London. Our final project was praised by Kevin Little, Director of Capital Projects of Kings College London:
“ This MRI installation was vital to our continued provision of first class health services and Fulkers’ project management and design skills ensured that it was delivered effectively and with minimum disruption to our very busy hospital .”

Paediatric Oral Health and Post Graduate Centre.
Location: London SE1
Value: £4m
Fulkers was responsible for the reconfiguration of part of the 22nd Floor of Guy’s Tower on the Guy’s Hospital Campus. The project formed Phase Two of a larger programme of works known as the Paediatric Oral Health and Post Graduate Centre, which was a joint venture between the Trust and Kings College London University. The work included stripping out the entire original department and full refurbishment to a high standard to create 6 separate dental teaching facilities with a total of 41 fully operational dental bays and associated fittings.
The new teaching department also included seminar rooms, offices, clean and dirty utilities, compound store, staff rooms, locker and changing rooms as well as a new reception and waiting area.
All areas involved us in extensive design coordination with the services engineers, not only in serving the department with the normal electrical and mechanical requirements, but also to extend all of the required gases to each of the teaching chairs.
We suggested installing a raised access floor throughout the department. This had two advantages. It assisted in coordination of the services by providing more room for running of the gas pipework to serve the chairs and also negated the need to run the pipework within the ceiling below, which would have caused major disruption to the department below and associated additional cost.
The project also involved us with extensive negotiation with the client’s preferred dental chair and furniture manufacturer. Part of their remit was to provide templates indicating the position of their equipment and service requirements, which had to be carefully coordinated on to our drawings and finally constructed on site by the contractor.
The works were successfully completed within a busy occupied Acute Hospital Environment where health and safety, segregation and client business continuity was of paramount importance.

Phase B Redevelopment, Ulster Hospital.
Ulster Hospital is one of the major acute hospitals serving the Belfast area. Phase B included a refurbishment and new build £265m programme for the 32,000m² Acute Services Block and 30,000m² Inpatient Ward Block, to make it suitable for future health care provision in Northern Ireland.
The outline brief for phase B of the redevelopment was to link together the buildings constructed under phase A, while providing additional facilities such as: emergency, radiology, AHP, outpatients, assessment wards, HDU/ITU wards, pharmacy, kitchen/dining, mortuary, in patient wards (20), paediatrics and laundry.
The Fulkers team assisted South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust in the preparation of outline business cases, leading the Design Team to develop a Works Cost Limit in accordance with PRP Framework stipulations and European legislation. We worked with the Contractor and Design Team to produce a Value Engineering schedule resulting in a contract sum for the Generic Ward Block.
We also monitored financial spend for the project. This included combining cost information from individual Financial Statements into monthly Cost Reports to identify current anticipated outturn costs, carrying out multi-million-pound valuations while reporting monthly to South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust Board.

The Old Brewery.
The proposed scheme includes 94 distinctive new homes and 2,000ft2 of co-working and commercial space. Located on the 0.5ha brownfield site of the old Thomas Baynton/Ashton Gate Brewery, the plot is currently used for warehousing and workshop space.
The development will deliver an exemplary scheme which complements the character of North Street. Given the site’s location, the development will use the opportunity to create a new ‘gateway’ into North Street from Ashton Road and will act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of adjacent sites.
The scheme’s design will draw on the local context and surrounding character areas while echoing the site’s industrial heritage. Existing and locally important heritage asset buildings with a sense of character will be retained, including the Byzantine Weighbridge House, Gatehouse and its stone piers. The new buildings look to complement the heritage and design of the existing architecture on the site and within the local context.
The Fulkers Bailey Russell team are carrying out several post-contract duties.

St William Homes is a 50/50 joint-venture between power network operator National Grid and housing developer Berkeley Homes.
St William intends to build a residential-led scheme with up to 1,900 homes and up to 160,000ft2 of employment and retail space. Most of the homes are intended to be apartments, with contemporary buildings up to 30 storeys in height proposed for the eastern part of the site. Buildings on the western part of the site would be more traditional in design and smaller in scale, the report said.
A “vibrant mixed use area” would be provided in the southern area of the site, with shops, businesses and a new public square.
The indicative plans also include open spaces for residents and the public, with a new central park proposed for the northern area.
Fulham Gasworks is part of Hammersmith and Fulham’s planning framework for the South Fulham Riverside Regeneration Area and the scheme will be a key element to the redevelopment of the area.
