As
well as working as a building and restoration contractor, Linford
also carries out development projects involving historic or challenging
buildings. We have three main areas we consider on our development
led projects, these are as follows: Restoration
Led Projects.
Using our repair, restoration and regeneration expertise in a development
context, we are experienced at leveraging private capital to help
bring old buildings back into residential or commercial use.
This includes projects
involving listed or historically important buildings, or sites which
other developers might consider difficult. We
are interested in sites involving listed buildings, either in partnership
with the owners or as a Linford-led development. Sustainable
Development
Using our combined skills in refurbishment, restoration and Design
and Build contracting, we have the experience not only to redevelop
brownfield sites, but also to ensure those developments are sustainable.
This includes reviewing all aspect of the project from the mix of
the development, ground decontamination, and fabric of building, orientation,
sustainable materials, and renewable energy. Our skills and commitment
to sustainable development ensure our schemes are landmark developments.
We are interested
in brownfield sites where this kind of re-development is required
to bring the space back to life. Partnerships
A development partnership is ideally suited when the vendor wants
to retain ownership and operational use of the development, but wants
a contractor/developer to work closely with them to ensure potential
issues are resolved at the earliest opportunity. All
our skills as a developer and contractor are offered as a one-stop
shop. We will appoint a design team and provide a feasibility appraisal
of a potential development, review the financial viability of a scheme,
including providing planning advice and possible development procurement
options, including funding of design development, purchase and joint
venture options. This work can form part of a consultancy agreement
where we provide the professional service, and facilitate the development
for the vendor. Our
experience
Our experience allows a number of different mixes of developments
to be considered, ranging from residential, offices, industrial, warehousing,
retail and educational facilities. This experience allows us to consider
a number of different uses for potential sites. To
