Follow FCDO Services if you are interested in projects like the re-development of the Grade-1 listed Quadrangle in King Charles Street ⬇️
FCDO Services secures and maintains unique, and often historically significant, buildings all over the world for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. We feel proud to ensure the overseas estate is not only fit for purpose now but for generations to come. It’s important that these buildings adapt and flex with the changing times while maintaining their integrity and identity. Whether that’s through resilience to climate change, supporting staff wellbeing or accommodating future technological advancements. So, when we were asked to project manage the re-development of the Grade 1-listed Quadrangle at our very own UK based head office on King Charles Street, London, we jumped at the chance! It was an exciting opportunity to transform a familiar space that our UK colleagues pass through every day, and one that welcomes friends and dignitaries alike. Read our latest article about how our fantastic project team led the transformation of the Quad from a cobbled car park that was causing damage to the building, to a space that incorporates nature, wellbeing, soft diplomacy and protects the building for generations to come. Check out our latest project manager roles if you’re interested in working on more projects like this at FCDO Services. #FCDOServices #ProjectManager #ClerkOfWorks #Construction #ListedBuilding #SustainableDesign #AccessibleDesign #BiophilicDesign
