London developer Stanhope has appointed interior fit-out specialists Phoenix Interiors as a preferred contractor to provide suspended ceiling and partitioning work on a broad portfolio of projects nationwide. Part of the developers strategic approach is to negotiate work rather than putting specialist packages out to tender.
Stanhope's Project Director Paul Hargeaves described the current commercial office market as 'hot with high levels of activity', and advocated the approach that the developer has taken.
'It has significant cost implications and we don't waste time assembling project teams,' he said.
