Lancaster

Project Overview:

A suite of commercial offices, which were being converted into two residential apartments (commercial to residential conversion) for investor clients based out of the area.

Client Story:

The clients were looking for a team to deliver the renovation to a specific budget, including dealing with the separation of all the utilities and services, so that the properties could (if needed) be sold separately in the future.

Switch Assessment:

The clients wanted to validate their budget and have everything organised and dealt with given they are based a long way from the property.

Transformation Plan:

The strategy phase helped establish the client’s brief, budget and set out a proposal for the projects. We then undertook our full design service and pre-construction before delivering the project on budget, whilst delivering a significantly broader scope than originally outlined, due to savings and efficiencies achieved.

Scope of Works:

All new services, reconfiguration of the property, new electrics and plumbing along with a full renovation and reconfiguration.

Evidence:

A fully refurbished office.

We used Switch’s “We Plan” service for a Victorian terrace renovation we were considering. Their report helped us assess feasibility and budget clearly and confidently. Dean and Nick communicated everything in plain, understandable terms, which made decision-making much easier. Although we didn’t proceed with the purchase, we would have chosen Switch to deliver the project if we had moved ahead.

Great company to work with on my recent home refurb - all aspects were handled in a professional and responsive manner which made the whole process stress free. The initial call with Nick to outline their service was really useful, as well as the initial visit to establish which aspects of the project to prioritise. Once we agreed to go ahead, the work started promptly and they were great at coordinating all the various tradespeople to get it completed as quick as it could have been (despite Christmas falling in the middle!). Work was completed to a high standard as outlined in their specifications so overall really happy with the process, would definitely work with Switch again.

A truly excellent service. The switch team helped us recover from a very bad experience with our pervious builder on partly built site in Wigan. Finishing the job to a high standard and supporting the remaining sales. We couldn't have done it with out them. We are now working closely on a series of new builds and the experience is like night and day compared to others we have worked with. So much more than just a builder.

Switch Property Group managed our extensive extension and refurbishment at Woodlands Dental fantastically. We had an excellent professional partnership with Switch resulting in the Dental Surgery our staff and patients deserve. Switches team expertly identified the service we required and delivered it on time with beautiful results. Craig and his team were a pleasure to have on site. Thank you Switch.

From our initial meeting both Nick and Dean completely understood what we wanted from our house renovation project. The house was very disjointed and lacked flow. They provided completely honest advice and suggestions and considered practical changes that would work for our family. The Switch team carried out extensive structural work to remove walls and reconfigure the space to open it up and let more light in. In all honesty we had expected the process to be stressful but with Switch in control it actually felt enjoyable. We are absolutely delighted with the work carried out and wouldn't have any hesitation recommending the team at Switch. They have helped us to create a home we are proud of!

It has been a pleasure dealing with Nick, Dean and the team in our project which involved purchasing a house that they had refurbished to an incredibly high standard and then contracting with them for additional works such as having a garage built and internal joinery which was all completed to the same high standard. We really felt that they were prepared to go the extra mile for us and nothing was too much trouble. Additionally all of the craftsmen that they used were unfailingly polite and similarly so helpful. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

We engaged Switch Property Group after they were recommended by the architect who planned the renovation work for our bungalow. The property was taken back to brick and fully renovated inside and out. During the project the guys from Switch oversaw the whole process, giving us expert advice and guiding us throughout the process of the extension and the renovation. We are totally ecstatic with the finished product which is our retirement property. We cannot thank Switch Property Group enough. Although there were some hiccups during the build, we found their input and expertise second to none. Well done Switch, keep up the good work.

The guys at Switch are great. Very knowledgeable in their sector and always full of innovative ideas. Their comprehensive end to end service is a great concept that I’ve not come across before. I always leave meetings and consultations with them full of ideas and direction. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
