“When you are the client of a project, you need to be able to allow the supplier and contractors to be able to just get on with it. You also need full trust and knowing that they are going to support you with resolution of any issues. You need them to get to know you as a business and understand your aims to the reason this project is been done. With Barnes we had all of this and the project team were seen as an extension to my own team that showed the same values and behaviours as my own team and that of the University. The collaboration with Barnes made the project a joy.”
“As architects we were very impressed with the professional and collaborative approach of Barnes during the construction process. There was a real focus on quality which is refreshing in modern day construction and we were extremely pleased with our own relationship with Barnes which we felt really helped to produce the best possible design and in turn completed hotel. A few of us in the office that worked on the project have noted that it has been one of the most successful in terms of architect contractor relationship as well as the high quality service that Barnes provided.”
“Barnes and Bower Fuller worked collaboratively with us to deliver a quality product within the parameters of the project scope and expectations of the Trust. The site management was first class, with safety always being at the forefront of their standards. Communication between the project team and key stakeholders was always professional and pro-active. Overall, a very professional team focussed on delivery and the end outcome for our patients and staff.”
“Barnes have once again excelled in delivering, on time, a top quality refurbishment of a student hostel. The project was not without its complications, being a mix of eclectic buildings ranging from Edwardian to Tudor and Graded. The quality was excellent, with the project team and Barnes aiming high with respect to sustainability and thermal improvements to the old buildings, with the addition of alternatives to fossil fuels being installed. I have again been most impressed with the can do attitude and approach, and look forward to working with Barnes in the future.”
“Barnes has performed with strong communication and efficiency. With this we have a library and auditorium, which has a high quality finish. Barnes approached this project with a pragmatic ‘can do’ attitude and found ways to smooth over nearly all issues, often before the College needed to be involved.”
“Throughout the works, Barnes Construction performed extremely well. From programme planning through day-to-day liaison and dealing with unforeseen issues to ensure the works went smoothly. They helped resolve issues and ensure that where possible, the disruption to services were kept to a minimum.”
“Barnes’ team took on our project and engaged in our charity work right from the beginning, willing to work with everyone in our team and share their enthusiasm for our new building. Communication was excellent, and we felt confident that they would deliver right from the beginning. A pleasure to work with.”
“We have always found Barnes Construction’s approach to working within the student environment (and sensitive residents) to be understanding and compliant with College needs. This is the third major project that Barnes have worked on since 2016 – two of them won through competitive tender.”
“I have always experienced a friendly but professional environment created by Barnes Construction, whom continually strive to go the ‘extra mile’ to support the delivery of a project. I believe this is fundamental to a good working relationship and a successful project.”
