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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
