Audley Developments/Clerical Medical Investments
Matalan Retail Store
Following completion of the B&Q Megastore on the adjoining site, Projec-Technique Ltd was appointed, on behalf of Clerical Medical Investments, to extend the neighbouring Matalan retail outlet, which kept trading and was fully operational throughout the currency of the project.
In order to construct the extension, Projec-Technique Ltd had to first reclaim the building footprint (and service access road to B&Q), which was achieved by constructing a 6-metre high retaining structure, filling the reclaimed area with clean stone, and then improving the ground with vibro compaction, prior to constructing the extension and creating a new extended access road.

The National Osteoporosis Society, Bath
New 2-Storey Extension to Form Offices and Associated Works
Via recommendation, Projec-Technique Ltd was appointed to act as Project Manager and then Construction Manager for the NOS’ new prestigious office development.
The Charity’s existing headquarters, consisting of converted agricultural buildings, is set within a conservation area, and the challenge was to create a ‘drama’ by blending the existing single-storey accommodation with a new contemporary 2-storey office extension, with glazed curtain walling and cedar cladding under a natural sedum roof.
The project was procured using the conventional construction management form of contract, with amendments to encourage cost-saving initiatives and represents a good example and model for true construction management techniques being applied to relatively small projects.
Projec-Technique Ltd
The Old Mill, Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset
During 2003 and after two years of trading, the directors purchased their offices in Okeford Fitzpaine, a 300 year old grade 2 listed mill in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The building was a derelict, agricultural building, in partial collapse, and had no consent for conversion or change of use.
Following lengthy consultation with the District Council and the RDA, listed building consent was finally obtained to convert the building in to a suite of offices, which culminated in an award for ‘Building Restoration Project of the Year’.
