Offices are a breath of fresh air

WELLINGBOROUGH-based Chartered quantity surveyors and project managers Tompkins Robinson Surveyors (TRS) are celebrating a move to new offices and appointment on their largest project, since the practice started over 45 years ago.

TRS have moved down the road in Wellingborough from their spiritual home in Hardwick Road to St. John’s Street. Director David Morris said: “The move was quite an upheaval, after so many years in Hardwick Road, however, the new offices are a real breath of fresh air and we are enjoying settling in.”

As well as new offices, TRS are keeping busy as employer’s agents on a large, affordable housing scheme in Stevenage. The £35m project represents a significant appointment for the practice, which act throughout the country for both public and private sector clients. David Morris is the Director representing TRS in Stevenage. He said: “Wedgwood Way is a huge project and we are delighted to be acting for Metropolitan on this scheme. 269 units over the next two years is going to be quite a challenge for all concerned, however, with a wide range of HA experience, over many years, we are taking it all in our stride.”

Closer to home, TRS continue to act for Wellingborough Homes on affordable, residential schemes including sites in Earls Barton, Raunds and Lea Way in Wellingborough. David Morris explained the wide geographical spread of TRS’s workload.

“It is always gratifying when clients ask us to act for them on schemes throughout the UK, however, we have always been a Wellingborough-based practice and it is great to receive appointments on our patch and to witness so much investment in this area by Wellingborough Homes.

“With the Building Cost Information Service (BCIS) reporting a forecast drop in tender prices over the next 12 months, hopefully projects will become more affordable and we will see continued investment in property and construction. TRS’s services are much in demand and their hands on, professional approach to cost control is proving as critical as ever.”
