Property advisory
Property linked to project delivery, identified and coordinated.
Major projects need more than a site. They need offices, somewhere for the workforce to live, storage and laydown, parking, welfare space and temporary facilities, usually in an area that was not planned for any of it. We help clients identify and coordinate that property.
Why clients use BSR Group for project property
We come at property from the project's side. The brief is what delivery needs, where and for how long, not what happens to be on the market.
Briefed by the project, not the listing
Headcount, programme duration, distance to site, access, security and welfare requirements shape the search. We match property to the delivery plan.
Coordinated with everything else
Property sits alongside the accommodation, FM, logistics and procurement we are often already coordinating for the same site, so it is one brief rather than five.
Honest about what we are
We advise on and coordinate property as part of project support, working with agents, landlords and providers where needed. We are not a high-street agency.
Property we help with
The property a project needs around it to function, from the first site office to the last laydown area.
Office and project space
Project offices, meeting space and satellite offices near site for package teams, client teams and supply-chain partners.
- Requirements set against headcount and programme
- Options identified and compared for the project
- Lease and licence terms coordinated with the client
- Fit-out and FM coordinated through partners
Worker accommodation
Where a workforce is travelling into the area, accommodation is a property problem before it is a people problem.
- Accommodation options mapped against site location
- Capacity planned around the ramp-up
- Coordination with our accommodation service
- Landlord and provider relationships managed
Storage, laydown and parking
Yards, storage units, laydown areas, compounds and parking for site teams and their vehicles.
- Storage and laydown sized to the materials plan
- Parking and overflow for site workforce
- Access and security requirements considered
- Coordination with logistics partners
Welfare and temporary facilities
Welfare space, temporary offices, canteens and other short-term project facilities.
- Temporary facility requirements identified
- Providers sourced and coordinated
- Utilities and services coordinated through FM partners
- Demobilisation planned from the start
Where this fits
Standing up a project presence in a new area
A contractor mobilising to a major project region needs an office, storage, parking and accommodation for a travelling workforce, all in the first few months.
A site that has run out of room
Laydown is full, parking has overflowed and the welfare units are at capacity. Additional property near site, coordinated quickly.
Property for a defined programme window
Facilities needed for eighteen months, not ten years. Terms, setup and demobilisation planned around the programme rather than a standard commercial lease.
Questions
- What kind of property do you help with?
- Property tied to delivering a project: office space, worker accommodation, storage and laydown areas, parking, welfare space and temporary project facilities. We identify options and coordinate them as part of the wider project brief.
- Are you a commercial estate agent?
- No. We advise on and coordinate property as one strand of project support, working with agents, landlords and providers where needed. We are not a high-street agency.
- Which locations do you cover?
- UK-wide, with most demand around major infrastructure and energy programmes where a workforce is travelling into an area that was not built for it.
