Herefordshire & Worcestershire Group Training Association

Herefordshire & Worcestershire Group Training Association (HWGTA) provide training for workplace qualifications across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Having outgrown its current Worcester based facilities, and secured £950,000 funding through the Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership from the Government’s Growth Deal and £70,000 through the Worcester City Council’s New Homes Bonus funding, the organisation sought to move to two newly built commercial units in the locality.

ONE Creative environments (ONE) was commissioned to provide multi-disciplinary design services to provide the client with a detailed tender pack through to a completion of the design and build fit-out works.

Project Overview

Following substantial growth HWGTA appointed ONE to provide design services for tender of its new training facility based in two new brand new units in Worcester.

The new headquarters design comprised numerous lecture rooms and staff office facilities in the first unit.  In addition the neighbouring secondary engineering based facility comprised workshops, lecture rooms, office space and welfare areas.

Following design submission, ONE successfully project managed the tender process before progressing onto the value engineered design and build contract stage.

The final stage of the commission involved the contract administration of the fit out to both units. Challenges were overcome by meticulous planning and clear and effective communication. As the project was partially bank funded, progress checks were mandatory to ensure investment.  ONE’s tight programme ensured funds were released accordingly.

Using thoughtful mechanical and electrical practice and project management, the project was delivered in a short 14 week time frame and within budget.

  • ONE has fully supported me through some very unknown territory in terms of design and build of bespoke buildings. They have given a personal service that I know I can call upon time again if required.
