Andrew is based in the London office and is part of the Project Consultancy team. Andrew joined TFT in 2006 and qualified as a Chartered Building Surveyor in 2009. Having started his career as a building surveyor, he has a well rounded experience of construction related matters which today are applied successfully in his role as a Project Manager. His areas of expertise are Project Management and Employer's Agent.
He is currently project managing in a wide range of projects including a new build residential scheme, an office to hotel conversion and a variety of value add mixed use office and retail schemes.
He has been involved in many interesting projects however one of the most enjoyable one was the redevelopment of Greenwich Market, a world heritage site. The scheme involved replacing the roof and restoring the structure, replacing all of the public realm, creating a new food quarter with bespoke feature canopy, construction of new build retail units and a new storage building for the traders.
Andrew enjoyed the logistical and phasing challenges which the scheme had in abundance as the works had to be completed without closing the market and with an immovable completion date due to the Royal Opening.
TFT is refurbishing 376-384 Oxford St & 1 James Street, a prime island site on Oxford Street, for our client Redevco.
Now, we are glad to welcome PUMA as its first tenant, post-refurbishment. PUMA takes the ground, basement and first floors for a prominent new store.
TFT was appointed as project manager and cost consultant to give this building a new lease of life, since it was rebuilt in the 1950s. Our goal was to preserve or re-use as much of the building as possible while putting the focus on reducing operational carbon by implementing sustainability-led measures such as central plant replacement, new windows, photovoltaic panels and limiting the use of fossil fuels.
We have also helped to make this building WELL-enabled. Building users will benefit from air quality sensors, tech-led waste management and a new building management system which all enhance the building’s sustainable performance and the wellbeing of those who use it.
With PUMA moving into this prime location, Oxford Street has gained yet another brilliant brand. We can’t wait to see how the store will look when it opens later in 2025. The remaining office elements of the scheme complete in the summer 2025 with more to follow.
