Built for certainty.
Powered by teamwork.
One team, one contract, one promise.
At Wates, we deliver high-end commercial spaces that perform, impress and endure.
Our fully integrated solutions simplify delivery from concept to completion, removing duplication, reducing risk and accelerating mobilisation. We take you from shell and core construction or refurbishment, through to commercial office fit out, and into post-occupation facilities management.
Whether it’s a new build or a sensitive refurbishment, our turnkey model brings together landlord and tenant into a single, cohesive programme, for a seamless transition into new office accommodation where people and businesses can thrive.
It’s a smarter way to build.
What makes our turnkey model different:
Our extensive expertise sits together in one team, dedicated to the project from start to finish. No handovers, no interface issues. Just joined-up thinking and seamless delivery.
When we deliver as one, we thrive together.
We understand the pressures and priorities for both landlords and tenants – and how flex to meet them all. Whether it’s lease break deadlines or long-term asset value, we listen, we adapt and we deliver what matters most to you.
When we listen and learn, we thrive together.
The social value we bring to every project is a point of pride. From local employment and training to community engagement and ethical governance, we make sure our work leaves a positive legacy. It’s what we do.
When we build for everyone, we thrive together.
Award-winning projects and a wide-ranging portfolio, from modern to listed structures – they all illustrate the care and thought we bring to each project. With over 125 years of history ourselves, we take the best of what has gone before and pay it forward.
When we honour our heritage, we thrive together
