Ecclesiastical
Church or Chapel, Wilkinson is here to advise and help your construction project run smoothly within the regulations. Churches often have unique architectural structures, having a building inspector by your side before construction begins enables you to make less mistakes, and save on unnecessary labour costs.
Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics and local doctors surgeries are vital in each community. The construction of new healthcare buildings in growing communities or even addition facilities in well established hospitals will most likely have tight deadlines in order meet the needs of residents in the local area.
Heritage & Listed Buildings
Listed buildings are properties that have a degree of significance to the history of the local area or town. In order to preserve this, there are many rules and guidelines when it comes to additional renovation or construction. At Wilkinson, we can help you navigate through these regulations.
Hotels
Hotels are great for the economy of the areas they are situated in as they enable people to visit and explore the surrounding areas and local businesses. Due to the size of typical hotels, construction and planning has to take place with safety in mind, ensuring a safe structure for use after completion.
Industrial
Industrial buildings like warehouses and retail units are examples of important infrastructure for businesses that sell products at a large scale. Ensuring that the construction of these units keep to the planned timeline also allows them to be utilised on time.
Leisure
Gyms and indoor swimming pools provide local residents and visitors with leisure facilities. These buildings also consist of showers, changing rooms and offices for staff. When constructing these buildings, all these different areas may have varying guidelines on how they should be built.
Offices
With many businesses in the UK, offices are one of the most important aspects as it provides a space for staff to carry out their work. Building an office is different to building a home, there is typically an open-plan communal area, separate private offices and kitchen & toilet facilities that need to be accounted for.
Retail
Retail stores typically consist of a large open plan layout with high ceilings. This type of structure can be difficult to construct as most of the roof’s support comes from it’s four walls. Wilkinson can advise on how your local building control would prefer this structure to be built.
Restaurants
Restaurants should have a number of facilities to accommodate customers and staff, like seating areas, kitchens, restrooms and sometimes an outdoor seating area. Things like noise, ventilation and odour control will all have to be taken into account.
Theatre & Arts
Theatres and museums house a lot of visitors from day to day, with large amounts of people under one roof comes stricter safety precautions when planning and constructing this kind of building. You will need to provide these necessary details when planning applications are submitted.
