As a fully qualified and experienced Principal Contractor, WB offers a comprehensive service that encompasses the complete delivery of your commercial construction project from inception to completion. We excel in packaging complex projects and executing them with precision, drawing on our extensive network of specialist subcontractors who can be strategically deployed across projects of all sizes and types within the commercial sector. Whether your project involves a landmark office headquarters, a multi-unit retail development, a specialised industrial facility, critical infrastructure, or a significant public sector building, our Principal Contractor services provide the expertise, resources, and management capabilities necessary for successful delivery.

Tailored Delivery Solutions for Diverse Commercial Requirements

WB recognises that each commercial construction project has its own unique set of requirements, constraints, and objectives. As your Principal Contractor, we tailor our approach to align perfectly with your specific project needs. Our depth of specialist subcontractor relationships spans all commercial construction disciplines, from groundworks and structural elements to complex mechanical and electrical installations, specialist finishes, and advanced building management systems. This extensive network allows us to assemble the ideal team for your particular project, whether it’s a high-specification office fit-out requiring minimal disruption to neighboring tenants, a phased retail development with strict trading continuity requirements, or a technically complex industrial facility with specialised process installations. We carefully select and manage these subcontractors based on their proven track records, technical capabilities, quality standards, and alignment with project-specific requirements, ensuring that every aspect of your commercial development is executed to the highest standards.

Completing the Circle: Integrated Project Delivery from Conception to Completion

WB’s approach to Principal Contractor services is distinguished by our ability to “complete the circle” of project delivery, providing a seamless integration of all project phases and disciplines. Our comprehensive service begins with robust foundations: we maintain extensive public liability, employers’ liability, and professional indemnity insurance coverage, giving you complete peace of mind regarding risk management. Our established payroll systems and Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) framework ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements and industry best practices throughout the construction of your office, retail, industrial, or public sector project.

Our transparent approach to project costing and Overheads and Profit (OHP) is clearly laid out during the consultation and pre-contract stage, ensuring that you have a complete understanding of the financial aspects of your project from the outset. If your commercial project requires an open tender process, WB can prepare all necessary tender documents and supporting details to facilitate a fair, transparent, and competitive procurement process that meets public sector requirements or private governance standards.

Throughout the entire project timeline, WB expertly ties together all aspects of commercial management, consultation, and design, bringing your project successfully through the delivery stage to handover and beyond. This integrated approach ensures consistency of vision, continuity of knowledge, and accountability at every stage. By managing the entire process from conception through design to physical construction, we eliminate the communication gaps and knowledge losses that often occur at the interfaces between different project phases. The result is a more efficient, more coordinated, and ultimately more successful delivery of your large-scale infrastructure, office, retail, industrial, or public sector development, providing you with a commercial asset that fully realises your initial vision and meets your strategic objectives.
