What we do
Construction & Refurbishment
Colbre Projects operates as a Principal Contractor providing a cohesive and efficient link to all parties throughout the construction process. Our strengths of good communication and openness are backed up with excellent knowledge of building practices, systems and procedures which support the expertise of our site teams.
We work on projects ranging from complex multi- story refurbishments to various types of new build projects. Our professional team provide a cost effective, well planned service that assures our client of our full commitment to providing a successful and well-built project on time and on budget.
Heritage & Listed Buildings
Colbre Projects have dealt with some very interesting buildings over the years from Churches and Factories to Parks and redundant City Centre Buildings. The success of any Heritage work requires detailed and specialist knowledge and is essential when working in these potentially fragile environments.
Listed buildings are part of the history of cities and towns and Colbre Projects prides itself in bringing these buildings back into useful and beautiful spaces, to create something not just for clients and the end user but the public at large.
Student Accommodation
Colbre Projects work with developers to provide boutique quality Student Accommodation throughout the North of England. We have completed in excess of 350 student suites in University Towns and Cities from Nottingham to Glasgow in former offices, Churches and other redundant buildings.
Development for this type of project is driven by cost effective design, high quality products, durability and the need for low maintenance efficient management of the facility.
Residential
Working with clients on residential housing projects it is essential to understand the specific market for each residential development from City Centre studio living to bespoke luxury housing.
Colbre Projects are proactive and have a flexible approach to working with the professional team to bring the projects in on budget and to the highest standards whilst allowing for design and innovation. Working closely with designers and specialist sub-contractors brings cutting edge technology and enables us to produce sustainable solutions to meet modern standards of construction.
Refurbishment
When working within the residential housing market it is a priority to obtain the trust of the client and to work with the needs and aspirations of their vision, whilst always giving clear and careful communication of the budget and the time frame
As with all builds the need for residential homes to have a low carbon footprint has to be a priority, so as builders we will always try and advance the boundaries and to make sure that innovation and sustainability is at the forefront of our minds.
The communication between the untilites, underground services and product lead times play a major factor in residential builds and therefore regular meetings between design teams and clients must be factored into the weekly and monthly site meetings. For the project to run on time and on budget Colbre’s planner works on the latest software supporting our site activities, planned lead times and procurement dates. Our procurement department works tirelessly to provide cost effective but suitable building materials which are all be backed by FSC and PEFC chain of custody certification.
