Operations
WP3 provide practical, delivery focused operations services that ensure building services perform as intended from procurement and installation through to commissioning, handover and occupation.
We support clients, developers and contractors on technically complex schemes, providing assurance that systems are compliant, coordinated, efficient and fit for long term operation.
Our operations team works across commercial, residential, retail, aviation, film studios, healthcare and data centre environments, bringing strong MEP expertise into the critical delivery and in use phases of projects. From validations and technical reviews through to soft landings and post occupancy evaluation, we focus on turning good design into reliable, high performing assets.
A core strength of WP3 is our ability to bridge the gap between design intent and operational reality. With experience on both the client and contractor side, we understand how systems are procured, installed, commissioned and maintained, ensuring performance, compliance and value are protected throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Our Approach
Whole Lifecycle Operational Support
We support projects from late design through construction, commissioning and into occupation, ensuring continuity between technical intent and operational performance.
Performance Led Delivery
Our focus is on outcomes, not just compliance. We help clients achieve buildings that operate efficiently, safely and reliably, with performance measured and monitored beyond handover.
Client and Contractor Perspective
By operating across both sides of delivery, we bring a balanced and commercially aware approach, supporting clients with assurance while understanding the realities of construction, commissioning and handover.
Integrated Technical Governance
Our operations services align technical, commercial and programme priorities, providing structured oversight that reduces risk and drives quality across delivery teams.
