COMMERCIAL | COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE DESIGN SERVICE

Create & Construct is our unique high-end design and build service provided by Minale + Mann. It is our turn-key service from concept to completion. In contrast to a standard Design and Build company, Minale + Mann is the first and only company in London to bring together in-house architects and interior designers, in parallel with in-house construction and project management, all under one roof. As a design studio, we employ in-house construction teams to facilitate and execute our design vision in a tightly controlled and streamlined way. Having in-house construction ensures our high design standards are executed on site. Projects are design-led, as opposed to build-led. Our core design philosophy behind all commercial projects, is to achieve the right balance between productivity enhancement and efficient use of space, with creative solutions that encourage social interaction and stimulation.

Our Design and Build Company

Collaborating with marketing, graphics and brand consultants to realise brand objectives, a key strength of our commercial team is the ability to transcend brand identity into architectural and interior design elements. Our architectural team bring a breadth of experience working with business owners, having worked on small to medium scale commercial projects across the UK. We also have wide-ranging experience collaborating with outside Project Management companies, consultant design teams and contractors, on all types of commercial projects. Our design and build service was established to provide clients with a unique and unrivalled experience, removing the stress of a building project and the responsibility of working with builders.

CREATE | Design Phase

CONSTRUCT | Build Phase

Create | Architectural Design

Each project is allocated a Project Architect, who is the main point of contact for each project. The Project Architect manages and coordinates the project design team, including our in- house interior designers, structural and mechanical engineers, along with any other proprietary sub consultants. The Project Architect remains on the project throughout the construction stage, working alongside our site teams to ensure the studio's high design standards are executed on site. The architectural team are members of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and are affiliates of the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

Create | Interior Design

Each project is allocated one of our in-house Interior Designers who work alongside our Project Architect. This ensures design continuity from our exterior concepts to the interior realm. We believe that all elements of a commercial interiors development must work together, from context to the internal form, flow and the aesthetic. The needs of the inhabitants are key, along with a space that is as engaging as it is pragmatic. A well-considered spatial plan is crucial to creating an efficient workplace that is a pleasure to be. We look to create spaces that motivate workers through exciting and stimulating design, creating unique interior environments with beautifully composed materials.

Construct Construction

Commercio\al architectural projects are 'design led', as opposed to 'build lead', and ultimate control over the project resides with the architectural and interior design team. We deliver full construction services from shell and core, to full fit out and finishing; all delivered by our in-house construction team. We employ over 70 staff on site, and do not sub contract any of our construction services. We are members of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), and all of our site staff and construction services are vetted by them.

Construct | Project Management

Our Project Management and Design Team work hand-in-hand to ensure the project is on budget before starting work on site. At this point, project costings are closely monitored, along with programme and quality control management. In addition, the Project Manager is responsible for all contract administration. The studio's Project Management team monitors every element of the project from cost control, programme management, quality control and logistics. They supervise the project to ensure it is on time and to budget.
