Creating buildings to support the performing arts is a genuine team effort. Stepnell understood this from the very start and it was the cornerstone of their approach. The team worked collaboratively and proactively throughout the construction process as we tackled the challenges of working in and around important historic buildings.

Stepnell tendered as main contractor for a large package of works under our Salix Public Sector Decarbonisation Programme. Despite significant external challenges brought on by the pandemic, global supply shortages and very tight funding requirements, the team at Stepnell have showed a willingness to work constructively and creatively with us to overcome these issues and deliver key elements of this complex project effectively. Their approach throughout has been extremely flexible, and accommodating, and their senior project management team have been very responsive to the project’s demands.

Working with Stepnell has been an excellent example of collaborative approach to design and construction where the designers and the contractor have worked in partnership to take a pro-active approach to problem solving and prevention. Stepnell has worked hard to maintain the original design intent and client’s vision for a social care building that provides outstanding facilities and care for an extremely vulnerable client group.
