How we operate

The Lawton Developments team takes a pro-active approach to all its projects, working closely with clients and consultants alike, and, not surprisingly, this respect for the customer and regard for their requirements has resulted in some excellent working relationships.

From initial thoughts or ideas, the company can take a concept right through the stages of design, gaining planning, building control and statutory authority approvals, the appointment of independent contract administrators to construction on site.

A director of the company personally oversees every project undertaken, using the company’s own directly employed, skilled workforce along with a team of regularly used specialist sub-contractors (for Mechanical and Electrical works, for example).

For larger projects, a senior estimator and contracts manager will also become involved and an experienced foreman, based on site.

Also on larger projects a senior quantity surveyor is allocated to the project for preparation of monthly valuations, procurement of provisional and PC sums, monthly anticipated final accounts nd upon completion agreement of the final account.

The company is equipped to participate in single and two stage tendering processes, to handle fully negotiated contracts or provide budget costings if required.

Lawton Developments nurtures and values the good interpersonal skills of its workforce, fostered by an ‘open door' and inclusive style of management. The importance we place on sound working relationships within the company is, in turn, a natural springboard for the strong links we strive to develop with clients, subcontractors and suppliers alike.

Whether these are existing relationships built over many years, or new opportunities, at Lawton Developments we bring to all our business modern project management disciplines in hand with the careful application of well practiced skills.
