National property and construction consultancy Wakemans has been appointed by Barker Brettell LLP, a major firm of intellectual property attorneys working with national and international clients, to advise on its relocation to prestigious offices in Edgbaston.
Calthorpe Estates is investing £10.5m in a redevelopment of 100 Hagley Road to provide Grade A office space and Wakemans is acting as tenant’s agent on the shell build aspect of the scheme. The consultancy is also employed as project manager, quantity surveyor and CDM co-ordinator for the fit out, which will get underway as soon as the shell works are finished.
Barker Brettell LLP is consolidating its Birmingham operation by taking four floors of 100 Hagley Road. All staff, who were previously split between the firm’s two sites at 138 Hagley Road and Harborne Court, will relocate to 100 Hagley Road, a landmark building conveniently situated at one of the main gateways into Birmingham.
Principal contractor Shaylor Construction is currently on site and scheduled to complete the BREEAM Very Good development by October 2009.
"This move will provide an improved working environment and deliver key operating efficiencies while also meeting Barker Brettell’s future expansion requirements," says Wakemans associate director Steve Gascoyne.
"As well as monitoring the shell build and managing the fit out, we are also closely involved in move management for the client and appraisal of new furniture solutions to ensure Barker Brettell's transition is as smooth as possible with minimum disruption to the business."
