About Us

UK leader in design & build of fast-track complex facilities

T-SQUARED makes space for genius. Uniquely specialised facilities for clients in life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, electronics, research, aviation, and more. State-of-the-art facilities where amazing work is done.

We make spaces where our clients do amazing things, from preventing the next global pandemic to cutting-edge scientific research at the speed of light. Highly specialised new builds and retrofits to the most stringent of standards.

T-SQUARED combines the best of design, engineering and construction to make specialised spaces for science-based industries. People whose work changes the world.

Our joined-up process with in-house specialist expertise in every project stage makes T-SQUARED a single, fully accountable supplier for strategically important facilities.

With bases across the UK, and our holistic ‘whole project’ approach, we deliver highly technical projects incredibly quickly, and provide ongoing 360º service and maintenance.

Who We Are

Everybody at T-SQUARED has different specialisms but we all share a focus on the client and their project. We’re in this to do a good job. To get the details right and make every facility exceptional.

We know how important it is to put the right people in the room for every conversation. So we give our in-house experts real responsibility and direct contact with clients. And we don’t take no for an answer. We find the solution to any problem, quickly and without fuss.

Whatever we are doing, we look for the best way of doing it. We recruit original thinkers, keen problem solvers and natural collaborators. And we make them part of a broader, integrated team.

We’re investing in our future with a Graduate Training Programme. It’s designed to develop well-rounded team players who understand all parts of our business.

We understand what’s expected of us. Ours are critical projects on which there can be no compromises. But we’re just as committed to support and kindness for our colleagues. That teamwork and trust is what allows us to do both.

Teamwork and Trust are the two Ts in T-SQUARED. That’s how we make space for genius. Both within our team, and for our clients.

CORE VALUES

Our Core Values provide us with a framework for creating shared value between our clients, colleagues and supply chain partners. They enable us to develop collaborative working relationships, make sound commercial decisions, create safe working environments and deliver outstanding quality, on time and on budget, time after time.

TRUST

Trust is essential in establishing and maintaining customer confidence. It sits at the core of our culture of workplace safety and striving for quality. It provides freedom and security in which individuals can be responsible for achieving their goals and are rewarded for their attainment.

TEAMWORK

Teamwork is recognised as the main component in our sustained growth. No organisation can survive without a clear and shared sense of direction, with every member being committed to working together toward common goals.

OWNERSHIP

We encourage proactive ownership at all levels across our businesses to ensure challenges are identified and mitigated early.

PERFORMANCE

We deliver on our promises ensuring projects and contracts are always on time and on budget.

From a personal perspective, as the overall client project manager responsible for the design, installation and qualification, I am pleased to have worked with a team of professionals who got it right from the beginning. That includes technical expertise and personal attributes delivered through each character involved, with a continuous harmonious working relationship over the 18 month duration of the project.
