Our approach allows us to provide an unequalled and managed solution to ensure a high quality project for our Clients.

While the urban renaissance continues at pace, Thomas Vale prides itself on the ability to accomodate complicated working arrangements and high specification schemes, taking 100% footprint and occupied sites as a given.

From high profile schemes to small works, all of our projects are underpinned by a flexible and collaborative approach that encourages regeneration and, wherever possible, allows trading to continue undisturbed.

Spiral Cafe, Birmingham Contract Value: Under £1million

This was an innovative and complex design and build project given the irregular geometry of the curved structure. It was built in a city centre location and busy shopping area with no site deliveries after 7am. Extensive design development ensured delivery within budget without compromising Client design aspirations.

We used skilled craftsmen utilising innovative construction techniques and a full off-site mock-up fabrication to enable design to be finalised prior to erection.
