Project Description:
Under a framework agreement, Henry Riley is employed as Project Manager, Employer's Agent and Development Manager. From our initial involvement in 2005, we have been employed on a variety of new build, extension and refurbishment projects within the North and South of England.
To date we have been involved with:
- 18 New Build
- 11 Extensions
- 17 Remodels
- 5 Acquisitions
We have extensive experience in retail and provide appropriate focus to ASDA when facing any operational issues associated with these projects. By challenging the project scope in pursuit of solutions that strip away costs that add no value, we work hard at reducing and/or eliminating client risk.
Achievements:

ASDA has made firm commitments to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency in a sustained way, in both existing and new stores.
