Results Driven Services
We understand that our contribution to the construction project will be measured in terms of the positive impact that we will make. This drives and frames our role.
Farelanes’ commercial services span all aspects of construction projects, from enabling works through to final fit-out, testing and commissioning,
Our service-driven approach places the client at the centre of our project solutions. This often requires us to be agile, flexible and adaptable in how we bring our skills and experience to the project and to the team.
We work with main contractors and with sub-contractors and aim to build a consistent long term relationship with all our clients.

Advice on setting up procurement strategy.
“tasked with procurement of the external facades package with a constrained budget, due to a non-compliant tender quote having been used to set the package budget, Farelane’s proactive and diligent approach to exploring alternative angles and thinking outside the box identified a potential solution. They produced a comprehensive tender report highlighting the advantages of their proposal which…met the construction budget, and also explored and highlighted increased sustainability advantages through locally sourced materials and a local contractor. The quality of the report set the benchmark for all future package tender reports on the scheme.
