“We Are Ease were brought in to the project at a point when the main contractor had fallen into administration and we had secured control of the site. We needed a firm with an established reputation who would be able to draw on local connections at short notice. They also needed to have a keen eye for both the commercial and the practical requirements of stepping in to a long and varied list of unfinished sub-contract packages and to lead a team on site with our support in the background. Student Housing is time-critical on delivery, and we needed to very quickly re-mobilize works in order to achieve the August completion date. Works began within 2 weeks of us taking control of the site and started with a considerable amount of backward-looking remediation of defective works left by the outgoing contractor. We Are Ease led the negotiations with all the incoming contractors and were able to secure the return of those who had previously withdrawn their services. We would not say the project was without its challenges but we were pleased to have the benefit of a close and very effective working relationship with We Are Ease to get it across the line. The scheme opened to incoming students on time and on budget and we did not hesitate to continue the relationship with We Are Ease for the construction of the second phase of the site.”
