  • LAR Ltd

    Unit 5, Crossley Park, Unit 5 Crossley Park Stockport, Stockport, SK4 5BF, GB

    The specialists In order to demonstrate the high levels of competence and stringent Health and Safety requirements our industry dictates, LAR continues to invest heavily in a range of memberships and accreditations. As members of the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) we have been represented on the ARCA Governing Council for over a decade. Certifications are held for ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 demonstrating the organisation’s commitment to quality, environmental and Health and Safety procedures and processes respectively. A further six accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, Achilles, and British Safety Council. Additional accreditations have been achieved via Altius (Assured & CDM) confirming competency within a retail environment. For larger projects where LAR undertakes the role of principal contractor, we’ve engaged the Considerate Contractor Scheme – our commitment to site safety standards. Our business also benefits from having its own waste transfer station and the company is accredited with both an Environment Agency Waste Management Licence and a Waste Carriers Licence. A brief history LAR was founded in 1997 after a management buyout of Laing Asbestos Removal – part of John Laing Construction Ltd. As a result the directors and many of the operational staff have over 30 years’ experience in the removal of asbestos, having safely and effectively carried out projects across the UK, Europe and Africa with project values of up to £3.5 million. Market sectors We specialise in providing a Health and Safety conscious method of working in a wide range of industry sectors including: NHS MOD local authority leisure petro-chemical facilities management higher education retail housing associations utilities (water, gas, electric and nuclear) The future At LAR we work extremely hard to ensure that we are at the top of our game when it comes to Health and Safety, quality and performance. As members of the North West Construction Safety Group we continue to invest heavily in staff development and training. LAR has been recognised as one of the industry’s front runners in relation to operatives, supervisors and management completing the ARCA Competency Scheme. In line with new guidance LAR has also moved towards a more proactive approach to staff development and has invested a significant amount of effort in developing an industry leading Training Needs Analysis system. The significant developments in LAR’s team have been recently recognised by the ARCA Gold Training Award, the National Training Award and ARCA Gold Site Audit Award. Special recognition was achieved by securing the ARCA Gold Site Audit award for the fifth consecutive year – the only contractor in the UK to reach this achievement. Proud to be leading the way in the safe removal of asbestos and other hazardous materials. Operating an extensive range of professional services for both national and international clients. Our services LAR has the resources and infrastructure in place to offer a solution to any asbestos abatement project. Through long-standing strategic partnerships, we offer our clients a range of associated services that work seamlessly with our asbestos removal works in order to offer a total solution. Services undertaken in-house: asbestos removal, asbestos encapsulation, asbestos in soils, asbestos waste collection, asbestos decontamination, face fit testing, pigeon guano removal, reinstatement works, sharps removals and soft strip demolition. Services undertaken via strategic partners: UKAS accredited asbestos surveys (management, refurbishment and demolition), air testing, bulk samples, asbestos awareness training, demolition, decommissioning, dismantling, land remediation, contaminated land assessments, duct cleaning and licenced scaffolding. We offer all of the above on an emergency-call out basis, 24/7. Watch the video, below, it shows us working with one of our strategic partners to install a scaffold access system at Manchester Town Hall as part of a multi-million asbestos removal project. Watch our video Project examples LAR has experience of operating across a diverse range of market sectors on both a national and international scale. A significant percentage of work undertaken is generated from repeat business from long-standing client relationships. Our ethos of working with clients in order to fully understand their requirements and tailoring solutions to suit their individual needs, has resulted in repeat business year on year for over 20 years. Higher Education The Higher Education sector forms one of the largest sources of repeat business for LAR. The size, age and complexity of university estates ensures LAR has an almost continuous presence on some of the UK’s campuses. Public sector (OJEU contracts) LAR has made a concerted effort to secure long-term public sector work which is tendered via the Official Journal of the Europen Union. Although competition often comes from contractors all over the UK, LAR has secured a number of high-profile contracts based upon both quality and pricing submissions. Retail/leisure The retail sector has been specifically targeted by LAR as an area of growth in recent years and has seen the business awarded approved contractor and framework status with a number of high-profile organisations. We have adapted to this unique sector and developed systems for working within a highly challenging environment. We now service a large number of multi-site retailers on a national scale from both a planned and reactive call-out perspective. NHS The NHS has historically been a strong sector for LAR. Similarl to Higher Education, this sector has large property portfolios of diverse building types and ultimately many buildings with asbestos still present within them. Local authority Separate to the OJEU tendered contracts, LAR undertakes a significant amount of public sector work via local authority construction partners and main contractors. Some of the largest projects which LAR has undertaken have been within this sector. International Through undertaking projects of significant size and complexity within the UK, LAR has been identified as a business which has the capabilities and resources to take the high standards of the UK industry to the international marketplace. Utilities The utilities sector has been one of the largest sectors of growth for LAR in recent years. We now service clients across all sub sectors which include water, gas, electricity, petro-chemical and nuclear. Whatever the task, we can handle it. Rest assured, we have the resources and infrastructure in place to offer a solution to any asbestos abatement project. Through long-standing strategic partnerships, we also have the ability to offer our clients a range of associated services that can work seamlessly with our asbestos removal works in order to offer a total solution. Our promise LAR will continue moving forward, innovating, practicing best standards and staying ahead of legislation in order to consolidate our position at the very forefront of the asbestos removal industry. Alongside this we will be continuing to raise the bar in terms of staff development, site standards and Health and Safety. We aim to continue developing long-term relationships with regional, national and international organisations as well as helping businesses to remain compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions About Construction Companies

Finding and choosing the right construction company for your project can raise many questions. We've compiled answers to frequently asked questions about construction companies and the construction process in the UK.

How do I choose the right construction materials for my project?

Selecting construction materials involves balancing various factors, including:
  • Functionality: Materials must meet the structural, performance, and durability requirements of the project.
  • Aesthetics: Consider the desired appearance and design style of the project and choose materials that complement the overall vision.
  • Budget: Construction materials come in a wide range of price points. Balance cost considerations with performance and aesthetic requirements.
  • Sustainability: Opt for eco-friendly materials with low environmental impact, such as recycled content or sustainably harvested wood.
  • Availability: Ensure that chosen materials are readily available and can be delivered within the project's timeframe.
  • Maintenance: Consider the long-term maintenance requirements of different materials and choose options that are easy to maintain and repair.
Consulting with architects, engineers, and construction professionals can help you choose the most appropriate materials for your project's specific needs and budget.

What are some common construction mistakes to avoid?

Avoiding common construction mistakes can save you time, money, and frustration. Key pitfalls to watch out for include:
  • Poor Planning: Failing to adequately define the project scope, create a detailed budget, or establish a realistic timeline.
  • Skipping Permits: Attempting to bypass the permitting process, which can lead to fines, delays, and potential safety hazards.
  • Hiring the Cheapest Contractor: Choosing a contractor solely based on the lowest bid without considering their experience, reputation, and insurance coverage.
  • Lack of Communication: Failing to establish clear communication channels between the project owner, architect, and contractor, leading to misunderstandings and delays.
  • Unrealistic Expectations: Setting unrealistic expectations for the project's timeline, budget, or quality, which can lead to disappointment and disputes.
  • Ignoring Change Orders: Failing to document and approve changes to the scope of work, which can result in cost overruns and project delays.
  • Cutting Corners on Quality: Using inferior materials or rushing construction to save money, which can compromise the durability, safety, and value of the project.
By being aware of these common mistakes and taking steps to avoid them, you can increase the likelihood of a successful and satisfying construction project.

What is a construction contract?

A construction contract is a legally binding agreement between a project owner and a construction company that outlines the terms and conditions of the construction project. It's a crucial document that protects the interests of both parties and should include:
  • Scope of Work: A detailed description of the construction work to be performed.
  • Project Schedule: The timeline for completion, including key milestones and deadlines.
  • Payment Terms: The agreed-upon payment schedule, including any deposits, progress payments, and final payment.
  • Change Orders: A process for handling changes to the scope of work or project schedule.
  • Warranties: Guarantees provided by the contractor on materials and workmanship.
  • Dispute Resolution: Procedures for resolving disagreements between the parties.
It's essential to have a lawyer review the construction contract before signing to ensure you understand your rights and obligations.

What is a change order in construction?

A change order is a written agreement between the project owner and the construction company that modifies the original construction contract. Change orders are common in construction projects and can occur due to:
  • Design Changes: Alterations to the original plans or specifications.
  • Unforeseen Conditions: Unexpected site conditions or hidden problems discovered during construction.
  • Owner Requests: Additions or modifications to the scope of work requested by the owner.
Change orders must be documented and signed by both parties to ensure agreement on the scope of the change, the impact on the project schedule, and the adjusted cost. Properly managing change orders is crucial for avoiding disputes and ensuring a smooth construction process.
