Two hundred and seventeen buildings. One standard of delivery.

Grosvenor Construction Group takes projects from £5m to £150m — from the first feasibility drawing to the final certificate — under a single point of responsibility.

We work across commercial, residential, science and technology, education and industrial sectors, with directly employed site management and a supply chain we have used for decades. Where a programme is tight or a site is constrained, that continuity is the difference between a date on a Gantt chart and a date you can hand to your tenants.

Six sectors.
One delivery team.

We do not subcontract our judgement. Every sector below is run by people who have built in it for years, supported by the same preconstruction, commercial and safety functions.

Commercial & Workplace

Grade A office new-build, CAT-A and CAT-B fit-out, and refurbishment of occupied buildings across the City and West End.

02

Residential & Mixed-Use

Build-to-rent, private sale and affordable housing, including podium retail and multi-level basement construction.

03

Science & Technology

Laboratory, cleanroom and CL2 containment builds with fully integrated MEP design, installation and validation.

04

Grosvenor delivered Blackfriars Yard through a genuinely difficult site and a live river-logistics constraint, and did it without a single missed reporting cycle. That predictability is worth more to us than a headline programme date.

Head of Development — Solstice Properties
04 — Approach

Certainty is designed in,
not chased later.

Most programme overruns are decided before the ground is broken. We front-load the work that removes them.

01

Preconstruction

Feasibility, buildability review, programme and cost certainty established before a spade goes in the ground.

02

Design Management

We coordinate the design team, resolve interfaces early and freeze information ahead of procurement.

03

Construction

Directly employed site management, a vetted supply chain, and weekly cost and programme reporting you can audit.

04

Handover & Aftercare

Commissioning, O&M, soft landings and a twelve-month defects period with a named contact who was on site.

How we contract
Design & Build Single point of responsibility from RIBA Stage 2 onward.
Two-Stage / ECI Early contractor involvement, cost certainty locked before Stage 2 concludes.
Construction Management Direct trade contracts, with design control retained by the client team.
Traditional (JCT) Fully designed schemes procured against a fixed lump sum.
05 — Sustainability

Building to a
lower footprint.

Net zero is a contract requirement on most of the public-sector work we tender for now, not an aspiration. We report against it the same way we report cost and programme — monthly, and to the client.
