The needs and regulatory requirements of educational projects are navigated adeptly, delivering solutions that are both innovative and conducive to learning environments. Whether a new university building, a school facility, or an educational centre is required, a wealth of expertise and a commitment to excellence is brought to every project.
Retail & Leisure
Value is generated through the development, creation, operation, and ownership of sports and leisure facilities. The right balance between appearance, performance, and capital and lifecycle costs is struck using intelligence and benchmarking data. Support is provided for both small projects and large-scale, complex jobs, helping clients to maximise whole life value while enhancing the retail experience for visitors. Additionally, a strong sense of community is fostered, creating vibrant retail and leisure environments that bring people together and enrich local areas.

Specialisation in the conversion of buildings previously used for other purposes, such as shops or community hospitals, into residential dwellings is also offered. Schemes for residential plots at prime site locations are developed, and detailed plans for the renovation of listed buildings are meticulously measured and created. Additionally, expertise in party wall and neighbourly matters ensures that all aspects of residential development are comprehensively managed, fostering harmonious community relations.
Digital Innovations
We are experts in maximising value from technology assets and can provide advice, insights, training, and change programmes to help you and your workforce become more digitally productive. This has helped organisations we have worked with manage the transition to hybrid and working from home more seamlessly.
We have expertise in strategy formulation and using techniques such as Value Proposition Design and Impact Mapping to facilitate strategy brainstorming sessions for our clients. We recently ran an OGSM brainstorming workshop for a client which enabled them to formulate their Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures for the next 3 years. We followed this up with a test and challenge session to assess how SMART the strategy was before facilitating the production of the annual implementation plan.
Office & Workspace
We conduct comprehensive building surveys to identify the upgrading works required to adhere to current legislation standards. Detailed reports with financial analyses are prepared to assess properties’ liabilities at lease end. We provide project management and full architectural design services ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and to the highest standards.
We also offer detailed appraisals, utilising our in-house estate software package to produce thorough condition surveys and forward maintenance plans. This approach ensures that all aspects of office and workspace management are comprehensively addressed, from compliance and safety to financial planning and long-term maintenance. Our commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail make us a trusted partner for organisations looking to optimise their office and workspace environments.
Religious Establishments & Community
We conduct detailed surveys, such as those required for converting listed establishments into functional community settings, like transforming an old Grade 2 listed chapel into a library. Our services include improving access to churches, assisting with grant applications, and managing the construction phase. Additionally, we offer comprehensive services to ensure safety and compliance, addressing the unique needs of religious and community buildings.
Our approach is designed to preserve the historical and cultural significance of these structures while enhancing their usability for the community. By providing tailored solutions and expert guidance, we help organisations maintain and improve their religious and community buildings, ensuring they remain vibrant and accessible spaces for all.
Testimonials
“It is safe to say that the project would never have been brought to fruition without the help of Hurley and Davies. They immediately had to deal with the most severe crisis of the project.
Knowledge of the various possible legal outcomes together with determination in dealing with slow-moving public bodies, laced with considerable tact, were all needed to press the project forward. Hurley and Davies exhibited all these qualities in no small measure and eventually succeeded in breaking the impasse the discovery had caused. Their wider experience of building industry law and practice, plus negotiation skills, not least in connection with grant applications, were also all essential to ensuring the success of the project, as was their realistic attitude to the variation of fees to reflect unexpected changes in circumstances.
The Trustees would certainly engage Hurley and Davies as their Project Managers in any subsequent venture.“Howard Williams Chairman, Cardigan Building Preservation Trust
“Setting up an athletics club for the borough came with a massive amount of administration, H&D understood our requirements and worked with us to create a resource that was easy to use, functional and could be used by volunteers, parents and athletes. Rob was approachable and offered solutions to our problems. Development is ongoing and we continue to apply for funding to support new ideas, its constantly evolving. So very pleased with the service we’ve had and still receive.“
Deb Quirk Howells Chair, Rhymney Valley Athletics Club
