Main contractors · Renovation & refurbishment

One contract. One accountable contractor. Every trade managed.

APX Construction delivers renovation and refurbishment projects for developers and landlords. We hold the main contract and take responsibility for the whole job — programme, quality, safety and cost — while vetted specialist subcontractors deliver each trade package.

The APX model

We manage the trades. You manage one contract.

Refurbishment goes wrong at the joins — between trades, between drawings and site, between what was agreed and what gets built. APX exists to own those joins.

You appoint APX as main contractor. We price, programme and procure the whole project, then appoint the right specialist for each package — strip-out, structural, mechanical, electrical, joinery, finishes. Every subcontractor is prequalified, works under a written order, and is supervised to a documented standard.

Using specialists never moves responsibility away from us. Our contractual and statutory responsibilities as main contractor stay with APX, whoever is holding the tools.

What you are paying a main contractor for

Management is the product.

Specialist subcontractors bring the trade skills. APX brings the control that turns separate trades into one project, delivered on programme and to the standard agreed.

01

Project management

A named project lead, a single line of communication and a written record of every decision.

02

Procurement

Like-for-like tendering of each trade package. Selection on competence, programme and value — not price alone.

03

Programming

A critical-path programme from day one, with a rolling two-week look-ahead and sequencing between trades.

04

Quality assurance

Inspection and test plans, hold points before work is covered up, photographic records and a defects register.

05

Health & safety oversight

Construction phase plans, RAMS review, site inductions, regular inspections and stop-work authority.

06

Subcontractor coordination

Prequalification, written orders, weekly coordination meetings, and control of attendance and permits.

07

Cost & change control

Numbered variations with cost and time impact agreed in writing before the work proceeds.

08

Client reporting

A weekly written report: progress, programme, cost forecast, risks, photographs and decisions needed.

From enquiry to handover

Six stages. A gate at every one.

Nothing moves forward until the checks for that stage are complete and recorded — so problems are found on paper, not on site.

  1. 01

    Brief

    Site visit, objectives, constraints and the information that already exists.

  2. 02

    Pre-construction

    Surveys, design review, risk register and a priced proposal with clear clarifications.

  3. 03

    Procurement

    Trade packages tendered; subcontractors prequalified and appointed in writing.

  4. 04

    Mobilisation

    Construction phase plan, programme, site set-up, welfare, inductions and neighbour notices.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Coordination meetings, QA hold points, safety inspections, change control and weekly reports.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Snagging, certificates, manuals, warranties, as-built records and a defined defects period.
