Compton House
Guildford
Barratt Homes appointed Baily Garner to act as Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyor for the CAT B office fit-out of the second floor of Compton House in Guildford. The project involved transforming 10,053 ft² of space into a high-quality modern workspace that reflects the client’s identity and meets current workplace expectations.
Working under a JCT Design and Build contract, we oversaw the design development and delivery of the fit-out over two phases. The first phase focused on partitioning and isolating services in a smaller section of the floor, while the second phase completed the main build-out and additional service separations to enable future subletting flexibility.
Energy-efficient LED lighting and new air handling units were introduced as part of a sustainable building services strategy, ensuring comfort, functionality, and lower energy usage.
Tight programme constraints driven by the client’s relocation plans required close collaboration with the contractor and regular monitoring of progress. Our team ensured all deliverables were met within the eight-week timeline, achieving a successful handover.
To deliver a high-spec office fit-out within a short programme and coordinate services to allow phased occupation and future flexibility.
Baily Garner provided proactive contract administration and cost oversight, facilitating strong collaboration and programme discipline to deliver the project on time.
The Compton House fit-out created a high-quality, energy-efficient workspace tailored to Barratt Homes’ requirements. Delivered within budget and on schedule, the project enhanced operational readiness and supported future flexibility through intelligent design and service planning.
