It’s not everyday that a well known figure opens a Como project to the public, but on Monday 4th April 2011, the Chancellor, Rt Hon George Osborne MP did just that by officially opening global investment bank, Nomura’s impressive new EMEA headquarters at One Angel Lane. As one of the largest fit outs in Europe, and quite possibly one of the fastest, the 546 000 sqft at Watermark Place was fitted out in just eight months.

This was the first Como project to use Priority1 and in view of its success it won't be the last.

The project involves the strip out and refurbishment of 277 bedrooms and corridors in this listed building including the replacement of selected windows and MEP works. In addition the works include the conversion of the existing office wing into 87 new bedrooms. A new gymnasium area will be built within the new link block.

The new hotel owner is overseeing a fast-track project to complete in time for the Royal Wedding in April when it expects high demand from visiting tourists. P1+ will be used to monitor the progress and quality of the work to achieve this tight deadline.

Our first project with Willmott Dixon has been the £26 million contract for the University of Wales, Newport City Centre Campus, another landmark on the banks of the River Usk in Newport.

After nine months successfully using P1+ with 2 devices for managing quality issues, the new building was handed over by the project team ahead of time and under budget.
