The firm said it is delivering several landmark projects throughout the UK, providing both project and cost management services, as workers look to a return to the office.

This includes Osborne+Co’s One Central development in Glasgow that on completion will become JP Morgan and Chase’s European Technology Hub, creating 270,000 sq ft of turn-key Grade A office space across 13 floors. 

In Edinburgh, T&A is providing cost management services on Baillie Gifford’s 280,000 sq ft, eight floor office space, located at The Haymarket. The four-acre site is an iconic location which has been derelict for 50 years and undergoing a major redevelopment by Qmile Group.

In London, for Crawley Borough Council, T&A is leading the development of a new build office and associated CAT B fit-out. The project, which is a joint venture between Crawley Borough Council and Westrock, also includes the creation of a district heating network.

Also in London, redevelopment of existing space at 6 Mitre Passage and Gazprom is currently underway. On completion, this will feature flexible and open-plan workspaces to enable hot-desking options, clean-air ventilation systems and a host of wellness facilities as the importance on people-first places takes precedence.

T&A is also supporting BT with its UK wide better workplace programme with several refurbishment and fit-out projects throughout the UK mainland and Northern Ireland equating to more than 700,000 sq ft of leading workspace provision.

A shift in tenant requirements to match a post-covid world has accelerated the demand for prime office space as staff look to return to a reimagined workplace and corporates accordingly reassess their estate requirements. A trend reflected in T&A’s project pipeline with a record number of fit out work projects awarded to the firm in recent months.

John McGuire, partner at Thomas and Adamson, said: “As we see staff return to a physical workplace – whether that be in full or part time capacity – it is evident that there has been a significant shift in occupier requirements which has helped drive a robust stream of new business opportunities.

“Although the past 18 months have been challenging, we are encouraged by the significant increase in activity levels as organisations reimagine what they want their office place to look and feel like. Despite the increase in remote working, a physical location is still imperative to enable staff collaboration and is also critical to many firms’ corporate identity.

“Clients are looking to create new innovative environments which encourage employees to balance `the flexibilities of working from home with the benefits of a collaborative office environment. This, coupled with the requirement to provide first-class facilities which promote positive health and wellbeing, has accelerated modern day office space which I predict will continue to gather momentum as we place a greater importance on the environments in where we work.”
