ROWANWAY: TWO COMMERCIAL UNITS FOR LEASE IN BINGLEY
These two, two storey commercial units, with an area of 10,000 sqft, were constructed simultaneously on this brownfield site in Bingley. The existing drainage system was a challenge to build around, but the combination of diversions and the creation of some new drains solved the issues. We also had tree protection measures to take into account.

TGE Investments: Stunning 3-storey office on brownfield site in Leeds
This commercial property development involved the transformation of a partially-cleared brownfield site which formed part of the old Larkfield Mill, built in 1825 by the Thompson family and used for the manufacturing and dyeing of woollen cloth. Located just off the busy JTC roundabout in Rawdon, Leeds, this was an exciting and challenging project to develop a 3,200 sqm site and build an architecturally interesting 3-storey commercial block with piled foundations and a monopitch roof. Access roads and a car park were also constructed. Architect: John Wharton
Green-tech Ltd: multi-use HQ complex and commercial office space
This £2.5 million redevelopment of a 10-acre brownfield site created a new home for the award-winning Yorkshire landscaping company as well as constructing two buildings comprising seven serviced offices for rental.

These included a head-office for Green-tech, seven serviced offices for rental plus warehouses and retail units to showcase – and store – the company’s 6,000 plus product range. The Rabbit Hill site uses mixed styles and materials from single skin and cedar cladding to traditional masonry. As part of the project, we built an environmentally-friendly soakaway system that included drainage ponds. Architect: Lawrence Hannah Architects.
Kay Dee Engineering: operational site development
A complex phased development to extend the floor space of the existing factory, increase productivity and value – without interrupting operations. Temporary office accommodation was installed and Phase one of the factory built and handed over to the client. The existing premises were demolished and Phase two of the factory was built with new offices. Finally, a temporary factory wall between Phases one and two was removed so increased production could begin. Architect: Bowman Riley
FIVES LANDIS: phased redevelopment with new offices, factory and car park

A 42,000 sqft extension was built on the demolition site and former car park, with a service yard and 3,600 sqft ancillary building for staff. Architect: JB Birch
