The team behind Creative Project Services Ltd have a long track record of success, taking projects from feasibility studies through to final sign off. Having achieved success in the Sustainable Building Awards 2022, we caught up with Elliot Wakeford to find out more the secrets of the team’s success. reative offers a design and build company with an inimitable set up. At the heart of the firm is a commitment to providing a culturally different approach to the construction industry, one which delivers incredible results every time. Having undertaken projects of all sizes, providing support at every and any level, the Creative team have garnered a reputation to be proud of. When we caught up with Elliot, we were keen to know what precisely sets Creative apart from the competition. “Whether it is an internal reconfiguration, extension or a new home, there are a lot of things to be taken into account when you are thinking about extending or remodelling your home,” Elliot tells us. “Most companies do this one item at a time which, whilst seeming logical can actually have a negative effect on the overall project. We take everything into account from day one, planning the space and layouts at the same time as working out furniture and fittings.” This holistic approach has allowed the team to achieve stunning results in even the most challenging of situations. A recent project the team undertook was started in December 2019, in wet and windy weather. The property was for a young couple with two young girls, who were living nearby as the project went forward. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Elliot picks up the story. “The steels, external construction and dividing of the new space had all been carried out,” he tells us. “This left plaster boarding, plastering and all finishes internally C and externally to be finished.” At great cost to the business, the team found the materials which were, at the time, in massive demand and short supply. “We pride ourselves on being a service-based company that build and nurture our client relationships,” Elliot says, “so striving to get our clients and their young family back in their home was a priority for the whole team.” Despite the challenges of an international pandemic, Elliot and the team saw the project completed a mere three weeks late, the first time the team had ever missed a deadline. Such commitment is a credit to their hard work. For the team, it was a major achievement, one against impossible odds. For the client, it was the opportunity to return to the family home, now fully complete and equipped for them to live in, during a period of immense strain. The detail and level of communication was crucial to the success of the project, and the team work on plenty of design and architectural projects with their clients. That said, when it comes to live builds, Creative focuses on a handful at a time. “This is an intentional business decision to limit the amount of builds we undertake over the course of the year,” Elliot explains, “to carry out the chosen projects to an exceptional level.” When we talk about a successful business model, surely this is the one to look at. The team have been able to work on amazing projects with a host of exciting clients. We asked Elliot to detail the team’s plans for the future “The future plans for the company are to design and develop our own housing development sites,” he says, “and we are working away in the background to make this a reality. We want to work with people and investors with the same passion and ethos as ourselves, if you think this could be you, please feel free to reach out, we would be pleased to talk to you.” We cannot recommend this team more highly. Their renown throughout the industry speaks for itself. Company: Creative Project Services Ltd Name: Elliot Wakeford Email: [email protected] Web Address: www.creativeprojectservices.com
