Capabilities
Design and Construct
As expert design and construction integrators, we have dedicated teams offering a fully coordinated pre-construction service enabling us to facilitate the design vision of your build.
At Wates we understand and embrace the value of your design, ensuring the transition into construction via procurement, manufacture and fabrication is as seamless as possible. Our approach of engaging early with design allows us to influence design solutions when they will create the best value for the client.
Wates Building Services
With a dedicated in-house Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) delivery service, Wates Building Services (WBS), we can combine greater commerciality with an integrated approach across our supply chain.
This replaces traditional M&E procurement on some of Wates Constructions projects, working with specialist sub-contractors to implement a tailored approach on a project-by-project basis. This in-house platform complements our established external supply chain and with our specialist in-house WBS technical teams fully integrated with the Wates Construction team, we can deliver greater value.
BIM
At Wates, we use Building Information Modelling (BIM) to generate, share and manage information collaboratively with our customers and supply chain.
Through the creation of digital models, we are able to validate and coordinate design information, improve procurement, reduce waste and maximise delivery efficiency to provide cost and time benefits for our clients. Working toward industry best practice, Wates have already orchestrated the completion of the Ministry of Justices BIM best practice guidelines, in conjunction with other partners.
Focused Sector Expertise
With dedicated teams throughout the UK across all sectors, Wates puts experts at the forefront of all our projects ensuring seamless expert delivery and handover.
