Real Estate and Property Awards 2021

Real Estate and Property Awards 2021 BUILD 21 Oct21437 uilding work can be very intrusive to the homeowner, and Sturdy Evolution’s workers fully recognise that, taking every measure to minimise its impact on the client. And with being considerate comes trustworthiness and responsibility to excel in everything they do. They pay close attention to detail, ensuring perfection with straight lines and smooth paint finish, high quality tiling, seamless brickwork, and high quality bespoke carpentry. Each job has a structure which facilitates effective project management. Each site has a site manager who oversees the project on the ground, operating on the basis of delivering the project to the standard the client requires. Organisation is also ensured with the use of an app- and web-based project management tool which is tailored to each job and provides a means for everyone involved in the project to remain up-to-date on any information and systems. Throughout the build, it is inevitable that things will change, either through situations out of anyone’s control or the changing of minds. Sturdy Evolution welcomes this as it means it can deliver the project the client wants at the end of the process, rather than what they envisioned at the beginning. All members of the team working on the project work in a very friendly and respectful way which facilitates everyone to be open and contribute their ideas to the process in order for the project to meet exact requirements. Forward thinking is also highly important during each building process, with Sturdy Evolution’s aim being to constantly evolve and improve so it doesn’t stand still and rest on the principle that what it did last time will work every time. This means it is constantly looking for new and innovative ideas and products which it can involve in each project and present to the client as options. This includes adding new services to offer clients to ensure it has the complete package for design and service available. Equally as important to ensuring top quality build is delivering sustainability. As a business principle, Sturdy Evolution aims to focus on making the process as sustainable as it can. After 10 years as a sustainability consultant for industry leading residential and commercial developers, company director, Michael Sturdy wanted to bring the principles learnt to home improvements. It goes without saying that making any process these days as environmentally-friendly with a conscience towards sustainability is of paramount importance. Sturdy Evolution as a business is currently in the process of implementing a sustainability strategy to reduce its waste, off-set carbon and reduce resource dependency. The company is working to improve London homes through high-quality sustainable construction by recycling all waste produced onsite; sourcing only from local suppliers where possible; maximising insulation and energy efficiency measures where possible; and it is currently electrifying its company cars. Sturdy Evolution is also in the process of implementing a wider sustainability strategy to reduce its impact further with greater measures for recycling implemented onsite; it is partnering with an organisation to off-set carbon dioxide it produces; and there have been measures implemented to reduce water and energy use onsite. Whilst the past 12 months could arguably have been the busiest period for home renovations in living memory, there are few significant challenges on the horizon. With reduced labour supply, material shortages and supply chain issues causing huge price increases, which is not only affecting the building industry, the demand for building work in the coming 12-18 months could see a significant fall as clients fail to see the economic benefit or need for the work. However, things are looking positive at the moment with 2021 having been exceptionally busy for the company, and the run up to Christmas looking to be the same. Sturdy Evolution has a lot of projects booked in already for 2022, and they have a focus on delivering its wider business strategy.
