Heritage and prestige

HKL Specialists has been trusted to work on some of England’s most significant buildings – including the Houses of Parliament – where the standards of workmanship, the sensitivity to existing fabric, and the ability to work within complex operational and access constraints are non-negotiable.

Heritage and prestige projects require a particular combination of technical skill and sensitivity to context – the ability to work with existing materials and forms, match historic profiles and finishes and deliver to a standard that reflects the significance of the building itself.

Our in-house design and fabrication capability is particularly valuable on heritage projects, where bespoke components, non-standard dimensions and the need to match existing profiles and finishes require a level of manufacturing control that off-the-shelf procurement cannot always provide.

We have also completed work for major British industrial and manufacturing clients, where the buildings themselves are statements of brand and precision – and where the contractor working on them is expected to reflect those values in every aspect of how they operate on site.

Our approach on prestige projects is the same as on every other scheme: meticulous design, precise procurement and installation carried out by directly employed operatives who have been with us for years and understand what the standard we are working to actually means.
