WHAT SETS STATICUS APART
FROM ITS COMPETITORS IS ITS IN-
HOUSE CAPABILITIES WHICH MANY
OTHER FIRMS WOULD HAVE TO
SUBCONTRACT OUT.
“Given the opportunity to work with Staticus again, I think that
would be a fantastic experience. They delivered the project on
time, the attitude was perfect, they were problem solvers and
were always able to come up with solutions in a timely fashion,
so I would welcome the opportunity to work with them again
and would not hesitate to recommend them to other contractors,
architects or developers.”
Alumno Developments, established in 2006, are a specialist
student accommodation provider in the UK. The Aspire Point
development was its fourth project in London and also its first
ever tower.
Ron Plunz, Development Manager at Alumno Developments,
commented: “The main challenge with student accommodation
developments is that the occupiers arrive in September so there
is no room for the timescale to be extended. Therefore, what
counts for us in terms of contractors and subcontractors is their
ability to deliver on time. What’s also important is of course, cost
and design integrity as well as compliance with regulations.
“Working with Staticus and HG Construction was a very refreshing
experience because they worked diligently and proactively. I
always felt in very safe hands with Staticus – whenever I attended
their design workshops the team were very reassuring and were
able to give answers to any questions I had, or that I had received
from the university, students or parents.
“I have to say, the Staticus team were the friendliest consultants
I’ve ever worked with! We have already recommended them to
colleagues for other projects and would happily work with them
again.”
HG Construction Ltd is a growing construction company which
works in the student accommodation, commercial and residential
sectors. Having worked with Staticus before, Managing Director
Conor Rice recommended them for the Aspire Point project.
Conor explains: “We have worked with Staticus twice in the
past and were impressed with their professionalism, design
capabilities, in-house design and manufacturing. When tasked
to construct our tallest building to date, we were confident that
they were the right company for this project and we changed
the façade design completely to make their unitised curtain wall
system work.”
“What sets Staticus apart from its competitors is its in-house
capabilities which many other firms would have to subcontract
out, which can create communication difficulties. Their willingness
to give access to the design process early on also makes them
stand out and makes the whole process much smoother.
“Working with the Staticus team has been an absolute joy. They
are consummate professionals, technically advanced and I would
strongly recommend them to other construction companies.”
Staticus is growing its UK presence and is already responsible for
the iconic look of buildings in Manchester and London, offering
a comprehensive façade engineering service – from conception
and design through to manufacture, installation and project
management.
The firm recently won the contracts for two developments in the
UK; Two New Bailey in Manchester and Royal Mint Gardens in
London.
