Delivering better education environments

Providing an integrated approach to securing results, our professional Chartered Surveyors, Chartered Project Managers and Consultants can be instructed at any stage of a construction project.

Specialising in the built environment, our approach produces pleasant and functional facilities that improve patient comfort, and help healthcare providers attract and retain staff.

We are committed to improving the performance of estates in the public and private sectors, through acquisition, partnering, construction management and contracts. We work with individual NHS trusts and private healthcare providers across the UK.

With clients undergoing demanding change, our managers offer the skills and experience needed to lead major transformation programmes and fill critical gaps when capacity is an issue.

Across all areas of construction management policy and practice we have a wealth of experience as Change Agents.

Our clients are under pressure to deliver, so we share that pressure with them, utilising our considerable project management expertise to ensure that deadlines are met and project objectives are successfully delivered on time and on budget. As a company we only employ people who genuinely care about the projects they work on.

We, the Queen Victoria Memorial nursing and therapy teams, want to express our gratitude for your workers’ dedication and hard work in the unit. The unit looks fantastic, and we appreciate the effort the contractors have put in to maintain it. We understand that working in a busy unit with patients and staff around can be challenging, but we are pleased that the communication between both teams is leading to minimal disruption. Once again, a big thank you for all your hard work!

Fran Orozco-Bermudez

Ward Manager – Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital Inpatient Unit

Blu have always provided a highly professional, diligent and flexible approach in working in partnership with our organisation. Their key strengths lie in their ability to draw on a vast knowledge of Estates transformation projects, combined with professional resources, that consistently achieve high quality work within tight timescales. The Blu Team display a strong ethos of partnership and have good experience of working closely with the clients teams, approaching this with a real hands-on ethos, ensuring that the views of our operational teams are always well represented and bringing particular specialist expertise to mental health and learning disability projects.

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust

Blu worked with us on the project and ensured they kept our clinicians updated at all times. They always made themselves available when needed guidance and really took on board that clinical and operational work had to take on priority. I am absolutely sure that without Blu we would not have the amazing building we have today.

Melanie Woodcock

Senior Service Line Lead Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services

Blu have an exemplary attention to detail and high expectations for all aspects of the project they are overseeing. Whether it is setting up the project correctly as project managers, building staff and patient engagement initiatives, ensuring the product is going to meet the standards of its context, or in project delivery and cash flow, Blu apply equal dedication and provide high quality services.

This is a pleasant, controlled scheme which deserves to win. For people of this demographic it is very, very good. It has been very thoughtfully designed, with good signage and use of colour.

Building Better Healthcare Awards

Blu Building Consultants worked with us to refurbish our new Letchworth Wellbeing Centre. As a new initiative for the organisation Blu provided advice and guidance that was appropriate in language and in conjunction with a strong willingness to understand the importance of the centres infrastructure to meet service user needs. Due to this positive experience we would certainly recommend and would consider utilising BLU Consultants on future projects.

Without the generosity of our supporters we wouldn’t be able to keep making the difference when it matters the most. The team at Blu Building Consultants have supported us for a number of years, being part of our Business Club, sponsoring events and even making festive donations via our Amazon wishlist. We really do appreciate their support.

Nikki Samsa

Associate Director - Supper Engagement Fundraising

Really great work Jamie. I have suggested that we take the learning from the methodology you led with in this programme, across a wide range of initiatives.

Thank you again for all your hard work.

Director of Operations for Adults and Children’s services

Research and learning encourages us to challenge preconceptions, introduce innovation and make better buildings.

The results include building environments that last longer and these savings can reduce future revenue budgets. Working closely with clients and consultants we maximise our ability to solve problems, deliver excellence and increase the efficiency of your buildings.

As a Chartered Building Consultancy we cover the full spectrum of a building’s life-cycle.
