From the first line
to the last check.

A sports facility project normally passes through an architect, an engineering office, a manufacturer, a haulier, an installer and a maintenance contractor. Six parties, and five handovers - and it is at those five moments that dimensions get lost, deadlines slip and responsibility becomes vague. We chose to hold all seven trades ourselves in order to remove those handovers.

They follow the real course of a project, not an org chart. You design the space (space design), you draw what the catalogue does not cover (product design), you show it before the works (3D visualisation), you produce it (manufacturing), you ship it (delivery), you install it (installation), and you maintain it (maintenance).

Almost none of these trades is bought on its own. A study without manufacture ends in a quotation someone else will execute badly; equipment delivered without installation arrives on a floor nobody surveyed. We therefore sell projects, and the seven pages below say what each trade covers rather than presenting them as an à la carte list.

The practical consequence is a single line of responsibility. When a carriage does not run, when a joint lifts, when a dimension does not fall right, there is nobody to pass the question to - and the drawing, the workshop and the team that installed it are all here. That is tested in the fifth year, not the first.

Manufacturing in house is what makes the rest possible. A room that is too low, a roof structure that imposes its own fixing points, a lost corner: that is where the catalogue stops and the part gets drawn. It is also what gave rise to two of our brands, born of parts that kept coming back from one site to the next.

The seven trades apply to all five worlds: the method does not change between a padel court and a playground, only the constraints it meets. See our projects for work where all seven followed on from each other.
