About
Picture the scene: three friends from the building services world – James Bennett, James Everdell, and Nigel Herlihy – having a socially distanced beer during Covid, asking the age-old industry question:
“Why does this have to be so complicated?”
After years spent watching good ideas get lost under layers of jargon, over-engineering, and processes that felt like they were designed to make life harder, they realised something important.
Things could be done better. Simpler. Smarter.
With more front-end innovation to guarantee long-term results, and more opportunities for talented people from different backgrounds to come together and create something genuinely unique.
And so, WP3 was born.
A collective built on clarity, innovation, and a shared belief that building services should support a project, not mystify it.
