Services BUILDINGS Over the last decade, we have completed multiple new builds and major renovation projects across three continents, for both public and private sector clients. Our proven track record covers a wide range of sectors and includes hotels, office developments, R&D centres, sports arenas and retail malls.

As we build up knowledge of the project requirements we will guarantee the cost of the MEP works. We manage the coordination of the entire MEP package and bring ISO management processes to local supply chain partners on large scale projects.

Throughout the project we apply a continuous QA/QC process, and provide project reporting at all stages. Where required we actively participate in design development workshops to ensure best value and design suitability.

A properly commissioned building runs efficiently without wasting costly utilities.

Prior to handover we prepare a detailed commissioning plan and monitor and validate the results on an ongoing basis.

FIT-OUT Update Group is known for its flexible approach and our track record includes projects which range in scale from an 80,000 sq m office campus to the high-quality finishes and attention to detail required for a luxury hotel.

By thoroughly understanding the individual needs of the various stakeholders on each project we develop practical cost-conscious solutions, balancing proactive advice with sound commercial management. We frequently contribute pre-contract and preconstruction advice, equipping our clients with supplementary information and alternative options.

Update Group has experience working in operational buildings, allowing our clients to continue their daily activities, saving them both time and money. Careful planning and programming of complex works and keeping all project stakeholders fully informed ensures a cohesive and safe working environment.

Our service does not end on project completion. We work closely with occupying customers to ensure thorough familiarisation and total satisfaction with their new environment.

INFRASTRUCTURE Update Group has the experience to provide the entire mechanical, electrical, IT and fire safety systems scope for large scale infrastructure projects.

We are armed with technical expertise, use industry standard project management methodologies, and have experience of unique environments.

A critical factor in the success of any infrastructure project is a trusted supply chain – a network we have been building across all regions where we operate. This capability was demonstrated through our recent delivery of LF Wade International Airport in Bermuda.

We can manage the testing, validation and commissioning process to international standards, and can incorporate LEED or other environmental certifications if required.

A winning choice combination of skills and track record that has repeatedly delivered successful projects, all of which have been ORAT-compliant (Operational Readiness and Testing).

HOW WE DO IT Our mindset is to add value to a project from pre-construction through to project delivery by adopting the following plan of work.

These principles are a culmination of over 35 years in the industry, and are regularly appraised against changing trends and international benchmarks.

PROJECT ADVISORY

PROJECT INITIATION

CONCEPT & BUDGET EVALUATION

The best time to start thinking about the building services requirements of your project, is at the same time as your outline brief is being developed. The MEP scope is usually the largest package after construction, up to 25% of total cost on some projects, so getting this right from the outset should be near the top of your list of critical factors.

Once appointed, we will work closely with the construction consultants and MEP design team to define the Project Brief. This will involve an indepth study of the client objectives and planned demands on the building services.

Where design responsibility needs to be maintained, we actively participate in workshops and provide input in areas such as technical, sustainability, cost and buildability.

Speaking to us at this early stage means we can provide a Strategic Analysis of your initial brief and budget estimate, and advise on potential related risks across the entire plan of work.

Get in touch for a chat. We would really like to hear from you.

Our input on the Project Brief will include: Site Evaluation Feasibility Studies

Design Drawings & Specification Order of Magnitude Costs Procurement Plan Sustainability

Innovative Technologies Project Programme

From our extensive experience we have a significant amount of cost data across a wide range of sectors and geographic locations.

Combine this with our resources, knowledge and insights and we can provide a detailed evaluation from an engineering perspective and complete a detailed measurement and cost for the project.

This allows us to prove value for money at an early stage which we can guarantee forms the key to the development of the MEP cost.

DESIGN & COST FINALISATION

PROJECT DELIVERY

COMMISSIONING & VALIDATION

POST-OCCUPANCY SUPPORT

Having established a target cost, the path becomes clearer.

As soon as the design & cost review process is completed our construction team issue a project schedule or programme. Critical path factors and procurement requirements are identified

At this stage our construction delivery team are fully in place and engaged, working alongside our preconstruction team. This allows us to hit the ground running and ensure meaningful coordination of the MEP works with ongoing QA/QC reviews, all while maintaining the maximum efficiencies of the construction programme.

Always with one eye on the commissioning requirements we will develop a Commissioning Plan from the beginning. This plan starts with the preparation of commissioning scripts per system so we can get the agreed buy in from all project stakeholders.

Following handover, our contract is still active for a further 12 months.

If the system performance and design intent has been sufficiently identified, we have the experience and skill set to take ownership of the design and carry it through to the construction and implementation.

It is important to stress that during this phase cost models are continuously updated to reflect the status of the design. Without these updates it is difficult to gauge on whether value for money is being achieved.

Our supply chain procurement schedules will be issued simultaneously when final scope is clarified.

We issue regular project reports advising on procurement, supply chain performance, design status, financial and critical factors to ensure all stakeholders stay informed.

This follows through with detailed system commissioning work plans.

We also set out the validation and handover processes so everyone knows what to expect.

To ensure the building is used, operated and maintained efficiently, during this time we: Undertake reviews of Building Services Performance Undertake seasonal Commissioning Rectify defects Undertake Post Occupancy Evaluation of building performance in use Verify Project Outcomes including Sustainability Outcomes

The benefits from our early engagement flows through the design development stages, and as we gain knowledge of the project requirements we will guarantee the cost of the MEP works from Stage 4 onwards.

The Sooner the Better The Case for Early Contractor Involvement in Planning Your MEP Requirements Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) is a proven approach that brings the contractor into the project at the earliest stages.

By involving Update Group from the outset, you ensure smoother project execution, minimise delays and gain greater cost assurance.

This is especially important in today’s dynamic markets, where material cost inflation and labour shortages can derail fixed-price projects. ECI provides the stability and foresight needed to navigate these challenges. In contrast, the traditional approach typically appoints the MEP contractor after their bid submission, which only occurs once the design has been completed and approved by the client.

20

At Update Group, we offer a Design Advisory service, which includes a thorough analysis of your project concept brief, along with a review of preliminary designs. We provide expert advice on scheduling and budget, all delivered through value-driven solutions.

With our deep knowledge of local regulations, supply chains, and logistics—especially in regions like the Caribbean—ECI establishes a solid foundation for seamless project delivery.

Cost certainty through proactive problem solving In construction, engaging key team members early is crucial. By working with Update Group from the start, you gain clarity on costs, scope and buildability.

We provide fact-based pricing, moving away from conventional rate-per-area estimates. With our precise measurements and carefully considered design solutions, we help minimise scope creep and unforeseen issues—key factors in ensuring your project’s successful delivery.

Sustainability and Life Cycle Efficiency

Meaningful Project Programming Establishing realistic project timelines is critical for managing expectations and ensuring smooth execution. Early Contractor Involvement allows Update Group to collaborate on your project from the start, aligning design intent with construction schedules. This helps avoid future delays and keeps the project on track and within budget.

Additionally, by being involved from the briefing and concept stages of the design process, we can offer alternative solutions for materials and construction methods that may accelerate timelines, particularly for complex projects like large-scale hotel developments and multi-phase infrastructure programmes, where speed to market is essential.

It also allows for the advance procurement of specialist, mission-critical long-lead items such as chillers and HVAC systems, electrical transformers, switchgear and circuit breakers, pumps and booster sets, and generators and UPS systems.

Did you know that early collaboration can directly impact the sustainability of your project? ECI ensures sustainability is embedded into the project’s design and infrastructure from the very beginning.

By engaging the contractor early, Update Group can influence design decisions related to materials, constructability and safety, ensuring the most sustainable and efficient solutions are considered.

This proactive approach helps reduce carbon footprints, improve energy efficiency and minimise long-term operational costs.

End-to-End Project Management Early Contractor Involvement ensures that all stakeholders are aligned from the beginning. In construction, change is inevitable, but by engaging Update Group early, you gain the advantage of clear, up-to-date reporting that keeps everyone informed and aligned.

ECI also provides an opportunity to lock in prime subcontractors early, which is critical in markets where labour and resources are in short supply.

With key partners on board from the start, project execution becomes much smoother, and the risks of delays due to subcontractor shortages are minimised.

Local Expertise for International Projects For international projects, particularly in regions like the Caribbean, local knowledge is everything.

Early Contractor Involvement with Update Group allows us to bring our deep understanding of local building codes and regulations into play from the very beginning.

Additionally, ECI offers the flexibility to fast-track critical construction phases, such as civil and early works packages, even as the remaining design is finalised. This is especially important for regions with limited access to labour and materials, where the ability to start early can make all the difference in meeting tight deadlines. Our expertise, combined with access to U.S. and European supply chains, guarantees best-in-class value, exceptional quality and timely delivery.

Conclusion At Update Group, we believe that the foundation of every successful project lies in early collaboration. Through Early Contractor Involvement, we bring our expertise to the table from day one, ensuring your project benefits from proactive planning, seamless coordination and innovative solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

Supply Chain As an international contractor with a track record across three continents, we prioritize working closely with local companies and vendors.

Following this ‘first port of call’ policy offers multiple benefits, with cost savings and reduced timelines being key advantages.

We are committed to supporting local economies by engaging with regional businesses. The valuable experience gained from our network of trusted partners—who specialise in delivering large-scale, complex developments— ensures that each project leaves a meaningful and lasting legacy.

Opting for local suppliers and workforce helps mitigate risks associated with supply chain disruptions, reduces reliance on long-distance logistics, and enhances project efficiency. By minimising the transportation of materials and personnel, we contribute to a more sustainable construction process with a lower carbon footprint.

If you are interested in partnering with Update Group and can add value to the projects we work on, we would like to hear from you.

Sustainability Sustainability is at the core of our approach to building services design. When integrated thoughtfully, it enhances operational efficiency, reduces emissions, and contributes to a greener, healthier planet for future generations.

The increasing frequency of ecological disasters and extreme weather events worldwide has underscored the urgency of climate management strategies. Through sustainable engineering, we prioritize energy-efficient systems in all our installations, reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based power and promoting renewable energy solutions. By doing so, we help lower a project’s carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable built environment.

Our work aligns with globally recognized sustainability standards such as BREEAM and LEED, ensuring that every project meets the highest benchmarks for environmental performance. We also actively incorporate Net Zero principles across our portfolio, supporting the transition to a low-carbon future.

At Update Group, sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a responsibility we uphold in every project we undertake.

We support and embrace new technologies providing smarter buildings for the end user 45

The choice of glazing intentionally maximises natural light, while three full height atria will allow light to penetrate the deeper plan spaces, thus reducing electricity usage and costs.

The rooftop batteries will provide a target backup power of 6MW for critical and essential services, delivering 60 minutes of AC power and reducing the need for fossil fuel-powered backup generators.

Façade fabricated in Poland as offsite component units. This reduced construction waste, improved installation efficiency, speed and safety, and will achieve high thermal performance and air tightness.

The solar panels on the roof will reduce energy costs, and will lead to substantial savings over the lifetime of the building

With a plan for no single use plastics, a strategy in place to target a zero waste building, and a focus on green spaces, Unity Place will have a positive impact on sustainability.

60,000 sq ft of co-working office space, covering the entire second floor of the building.
