An expert in commercial construction and asset management across all defence domains, Gleeds is a force multiplier for the sector. We have over 25 years’ experience in delivering efficient estates and infrastructure that support air, maritime, land and nuclear capabilities.
Having provided impartial, strategic consultancy advice on over £2 billion of defence projects, we’re adept at helping organisations respond with speed, agility and precision to ever-changing requirements.
We have delivered strategic consultancy services to DIO/MOD for more than 20 years – primarily covering cost management, risk management, business case support, and independent compliance checking.
This background furnishes us with a detailed understanding of delivering complex projects within exceptionally tight timescales. We know how to manage change, and minimise risk.
Gleeds provides integrated solutions for every stage of the construction and property lifecycle, with expertise across a range of assets including:
- Accommodation
- Messing facilities
- Garaging/vehicle maintenance
- Secure briefing facilities (SCIF/SAPF)
- Explosives handling facilities
- Utilities
- Simulator and training facilities
- Structures specific to individual services, such as aircraft hangars and submarine moorings.
Our specialist defence team takes care of investment, procurement and delivery assurance, maximising asset productivity, and unlocking value. Fostering collaboration across delivery teams and supply chains enables us to drive efficiency and reduce risk throughout the construction process.
Through applying advanced analytics to data, we generate insights that enable better control of projects, programmes and portfolios, and help clients make informed decisions on everything from building acquisition to legislative compliance.
Full compliance
The Gleeds team operates strictly in accordance with the defence sector’s specific procedural and security requirements. Every individual holds defence sector security clearance appropriate for the projects they’re working on, while the software we use and procedures we follow comply fully with defence sector protocols.
Our specialists have a background of working in defence, and understand the unique challenges our clients face. The work carried out by Gleeds’ Defence Sector Forum also provides us with a valuable insight into developments, strategic policies and legislation within the sector.
Intelligence that boosts performance
Access to the latest and most comprehensive market data allows us to provide impartial advice that maximises return on investment, from site acquisition to project completion.
Benchmarking and trend analysis across the asset portfolio provides quantifiable, measurable data that enables informed decision-making, as well as accurate reporting and forecasting.
We apply rigorous analysis and sophisticated technology to project data, to help clients assess and manage risk, and reliably estimate costs for new build, operation, maintenance and refurbishment work. This analysis also brings a real-time understanding of project performance.
