Workplace Performance

Organisations strive to increase productivity in order to improve the bottom line. Workplace wellbeing is a key part of the productivity jigsaw, and by improving the internal environment in offices and working areas, we improve staff wellbeing and performance.

Facilities Management

Facility Management can be complex and costly. We improve both hard and soft facilities management to increase efficiency and for better employee and customer experience.

Resource Optimisation

We design building cost reduction programmes for organisations to significantly reduce costs including reduced carbon emissions and reduced energy costs and consumption. We achieve results by making your organisation more efficient and by renegotiating with your suppliers.

Project Management

Most capital projects end up over budget, miss their deadlines and sometimes fail to meet specifications. Our extensive experience plus fanatical attention to detail and ability to spot and avoid potential problems means that we have a record to be proud of: delivering successful capital projects smoothly, on spec and on time.

Testimonials

What our clients say

“The LCMB team has a combination of skills and experience which adds real value to an organisation like ours where real estate plays such a critical role."

“LCMB really understood the brief and took time and effort to engage a broad number of stakeholders, all of which was essential to ensure the success of the project. Their facility knowledge and understanding the need for a customer focussed approach has given us some excellent tools and resources as well as a strategy.”

"UCLH aspires to be at the forefront of NHS sustainable performance and for this reason we like to work with companies like LCMB who can help us get there. The LCMB team have helped us completely refresh our Sustainability Strategy and implement a plan that will dramatically improve our performance by engaging our people, our supply chain and delivering invest to save schemes.”

"LCMB has been working at the airport delivering a behaviour change programme since 2014. Our approach to energy management has been transformed and our costs have been reduced.

“LCMB had been working as project managers within our capital programme when COVID-19 impacted the UK. They immediately offered the Trust their resources and support to help us respond. Their help was invaluable in reconfiguring our wards, buildings, estate and infrastructure to respond to the first wave of COVID-19 patients. Their team project managed the implementation and running of the additional welfare facilities and parking required to support our staff who had to work long hours, under difficult circumstances. Their team have also helped us to make our non-clinical workplaces and area’s at the hospital COVID secure. Their team are continuing to support us with our capital programme and COVID secure requirements. We have enjoyed working with them and highly recommend John and the LCMB team.”

Net Zero Carbon: How We Achieve It?

By now, you will have likely heard the terms “net zero” and “carbon neutrality”. But what do they mean?

Our look to the year ahead

Looking back on 2020, I ask myself who could have predicted the monumental events that we have seen. I certainly didn’t.

Keep on planning for the worst and hoping for the best!

In last month’s blog, I suggested that the old military adage ‘Plan for the worst and hope for the best’ was a sensible approach to adopt as we go into our difficult winter and tough 2021.
