OUR SERVICES
Everything a
landlord needs.
We deliver Principal Contracting, Development Management, Project Management, Quantity Surveying, and Small Works under one roof. We align cost, programme and compliance around one outcome: market-ready spaces that return to income faster.
Why this model works
Most refurbishment projects don’t fail because of poor construction. They fail at handovers between consultants, contractors and agents. Each transition introduces risk, diluted responsibility and missed detail, creating gaps that compound over time and undermine delivery.
One accountable team
Fewer interfaces, clearer ownership, faster decisions.
One coordinated programme
Less drift between parties and fewer delayed dependencies.
Clear cost & decision control
Better visibility, tighter change control, fewer surprises.
Market-ready handover
Ready for marketing and occupation, not just practical completion.
TRUSTED BY
SIMPLER DELIVERY.
better OUTCOMES.
Bringing construction and development management under one roof creates clarity. With fewer interfaces and clearer responsibility, programmes move faster, risks are controlled earlier, and assets reach the market in a stronger position.

Core services
Four core services. One delivery model.
Full service support for landlords delivered under one roof, from instruction to market-ready handover.
Principal Contracting
Delivered ready to let
We take responsibility for on-site delivery - managing scope, programme, trades and quality through to handover. Works are planned around landlord priorities, tenant requirements and programme certainty, with clear reporting and controlled change throughout.
- Strip-outs, white-box works, enabling packages and shopfront upgrades
- Programme-led delivery with coordinated trades, milestones and QA
- Handover aligned to marketing readiness and occupation requirements
Development Management
Decisions made earlier
We reduce risk before it reaches site - shaping scope, buildability, compliance and budget early. This keeps programmes realistic, avoids late redesign, and helps ensure delivery decisions support lettability, not just technical completion.
- Feasibility, budgeting, cost planning and regulatory coordination
- Design and programme management from concept to completion
- Risk and technical decisions aligned to landlord outcomes early
Project Management & Quantity Surveying
Commercial control
We provide end-to-end cost and programme control - keeping decisions documented, budgets protected and outcomes predictable. From early cost planning through procurement and change management, we ensure visibility and accountability at every stage.
- Cost planning, procurement control and package management
- Budget visibility, valuation, reporting and disciplined change control
- Decision logs and commercial reporting that reduce surprises
Small Works & Reactive
Market-ready between occupancies
Fast-response and small works that protect lettability, compliance and operational continuity. We deliver make-safes, remedials and targeted upgrades with minimal disruption - keeping assets viable and reducing downtime between occupancies.
- Make-safes, remedials and minor repairs between occupancies
- Targeted works that minimise disruption on live assets
- Proportionate spend focused on market readiness and risk

David Biggs
Having worked with Creative Developments on light refurbishment jobs from £20,0000 to £4M+ full building redevelopments, no matter the job, the same level of professionalism and details is applied.
Phil Murphy
We’ve recently purchased a shopping centre with several voids. Fortunately, Creative Retail and Creative Developments have been on hand to advise, refurbish and convert these into income producing in a very short space of time. This demonstrates that with a little investment, collaboration and sector expertise, well-presented shopping centre units will attract interest from occupiers!
Vesa Poikonen
Creative Developments recently completed the landlord enabling works at one of our retail units. Their communication was fantastic, they made the process easy which really took the stress out of the job. I’m delighted with the quality of the work and the team are an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Cecilia Wang
As a developer and investor that is based outside the UK, it’s critical to have a team like Creative Developments. They’re trustworthy, they keep me informed, and most importantly, they care about doing a great job.
Yaseen Valli
I’ve worked with Creative Developments on a number of projects for clients, and also on my own developments. They have demonstrated absolute integrity and expertise in everything they have done. Whilst highly professional, they are easy to do business with. They under-promise and over-deliver and you cannot say that about many people nowadays!
Mark L
Creative Developments have helped me source and transact on several off-market properties. They work hard to negotiate best terms on every transaction and monitor through the legal process. It’s clear that they have great relationships across the industry and I’ll certainly be working with them for many years to come.
Mohammed Rouf
Creative Developments have exceeded our expectations with refurbishments of our new build retail unit. They have delivered on time, done extra work outside of what they were paid for and the finish of the unit is great!
