Peter undertakes the full range of building surveying services predominately focusing on acquisition surveys and project delivery. Based in Cambridge, Peter frequently works in the life sciences, engineering and technology sectors assisting landlords with creating space and occupiers with relocation. Projects include the lease acquisition and project management of space on the Cambridge Research Park and Granta Park and acquisition advice on the Science Park.
Over the recent past Peter has overseen the delivery of high end Cat A and B office and laboratory space and has delivered a repair and refurbishment project of the notable Grade II* Abington Hall which was refurbished for the speculative office market. Peter has also delivered a range of other projects including an Architectural designed agricultural building conversion to high end house with Yakisugi treated cladding, solar PV and ground source heat pump.
In the retail sector Peter has been involved in acquiring and refurbishing property and helping to make the retail space as flexible as possible for an incoming user, in one case this involved a change of use project to reduce the size of the office space and introduce residential accommodation above.
Westcott Venture Park is a former WWII air base with a rich history as a test and development centre for rocket propulsion engineering. We're helping it evolve as a development zone for some of the world’s most exciting aerospace and propulsion technology pioneers.
Orbis9000 marks the culmination of the Plot 9000 development, a flagship project extending over 66,000 sq ft, bringing together state-of-the-art workspace, amenities and a thriving space and technology community in one location, designed with sustainability, climate resilience and biodiversity in mind.
We are providing project management, cost consultancy and sustainability services, including Life Cycle Assessment, Life Cycle Cost, and Whole Life Carbon assessment for the development. As Project Manager and Cost Manager, we were appointed at an early stage to work on the concept design, developing a scheme that aligns with the client’s appraisal.
Congratulations to the team, including our project management, sustainability and cost consultants who helped bring this to life for Westcott Venture Park: Amy Henderson, Taranjot Dev, Natasha Sindhu and Carlos Gonzalez.
