We have extensive experience of design within the motor retail industry, with a client list including Sinclair Motor Holdings Ltd (for whom we have constructed Audi, Mercedes and VW showrooms at Swansea SA1 and VW and Mercedes showrooms in Bridgend, along with an extension to Newport VW showroom) and CEM Day Ltd (for whom we have recently constructed new offices and workshop facilities in Garngoch, Swansea)..

Other relevant projects include development of retail units at Newport East and refurbishment of a series of properties within a conservation area in Porthcawl.

Case Study

Sinclair VW, Swansea SA1
Client: Sinclair Volkswagen

Services Provided: Project Management, Architecture, Structural & Civil Engineering, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Cost Management, CDM Coordinator, BREEAM Consultant. 



Project: -
The showroom and associated accommodation is situated on the site of a former quarry. As a result of the poor ground conditions and restricted site, the development was challenging to plan and construct. 

The building was constructed using a steel frame, and clad with glass on the front elevation and with steel to the rear workshop area. Brise-soleil was provided to the glazed elevations to reduce solar gain.
