Every project we complete is designed to meet high standards of safety, precision and reliability. What matters most is how our clients feel once the work is done. Their feedback offers an honest reflection of our approach, our professionalism and our commitment to getting the job right.
* Some of the projects noted were delivered by members of the Langstone Construction team while employed by another contractor showing sector experience and evidence.
Langstone have worked collaboratively with both ourselves acting as Project Managers and the Client directly on a complex and time critical project since initial discussions commenced. They continue to offer valid and relevant suggestions on works, following their appointment, with saving made on both programme and costs despite challenges being faced on both counts.
With the breadth of experience provided by their senior team and their problem solving approach to developments, I have no hesitation in putting them forwards for future schemes and look forward to the next project with them.
The fact that it was delivered whilst the school was still operational - very safe, very secure, very respectful – and that we were able to have this and deliver the record results last year was exceptional. But the legacy we’re now left with, and the building that’s here now, is iconic, and that’s massively important for the community and for the students that come through the door. The process was superb and the building will be here for a number of years and that’s true testament to the team involved.
Having worked within the construction industry for over 22 years as a consultant Project Manager and Quantity Surveyor on behalf of the Client on schemes ranging from £150,000 to £350m, I have worked with a considerable number of Contractors and their staff down the years. Neil and his team are in the category that I would recommend and happily work with again.
* I think it was an eye opener for me to see these professionals on site and with their discipline and attention to safety as paramount – what could have been a really tricky project went really smoothly. A tribute to everyone involved.
* I think its really important to have the right team, as there’s give and take in any project. Without the great relationships and opportunity to be open and honest it could have been difficult. We developed trust and friendships from this project. Everyone was trying their best to make it a success.
Linc Cymru and its subsidiary Tarbed have been working with Langstone Construction Group on our City Road development in Cardiff throughout 2024.
The project comprises a 39 apartment 7 storey cross laminated timber (CLT) block and a 9 apartment 4 storey block in traditional construction, both on a confined city centre site. The 7-storey block also has two commercial units at ground floor level and the project had to be re-tendered twice as the first contractor pulled out and the second became insolvent having commenced piling work.
Right from the start Langstone have demonstrated a highly cooperative and constructive ‘can-do’ approach to the challenges of this project. They worked extremely hard to coordinate the complex design amongst the series of consultants involved and thereby assist with its buildability. Significant effort was also put into sub-contractor procurement to achieve best value for the project. Fire safety compliance has been a particular focus and Langstone led the way in finding solutions to ensure compliance is not only being achieved but exceeded. An issue with internal sound insulation was flagged early enabling cost effective mitigation to be incorporated into the design and construction.
The project has generated widespread interest locally and Langstone have readily facilitated multiple site visits whilst maintaining a stringent and effective site safety regime. The site has been well organised and well managed throughout with directly employed labour adding to a sense of ownership and pride in project delivery. Prior to Langstone’s involvement, relationships with some of our near neighbours were a little fragile. Their site team have however built constructive cooperative relationships through a consistent application of consideration and trust worthiness which has paid dividends in the construction process. Langstone’s social value team has developed a productive partnership with Linc’s social value colleagues. Langstone have embraced the innovative aspects of the scheme by finding effective solutions to issues that have not been encountered previously. This is particularly relevant to fire safety considerations in a 7-storey apartment block constructed from CLT.
They really have ensured this project went ahead with no compromise to quality, they have an excellent can-do attitude which builds on the extensive work to date to make this a viable project providing much needed housing in Central Cardiff.”
