In this second issue, we feature a selection of high profile fit-out and refurbishment projects in the capital involving a full range of quantity surveying and cost management services for some very prestigious clients. We have received some excellent feedback since the launch of our new website www.piercehill.com where you’ll find details of our teams in London and Sevenoaks. Why not drop us a line? Thanks for your interest which is much appreciated. Stephen Tandy PierceHill representatives Stephen Tandy and Stewart Dorey were amongst more than 2,500 guests who gathered at a magnificent reception to celebrate the opening of the International Secretariat’s headquarters. Designed by Artillery Architecture and Interior Design, the refurbishment and fit-out project was originally let as a single-stage, traditional contract on bills of quantities. Maintaining a full-time presence on site, PierceHill was instrumental in successfully delivering the project after the original contractor went into receivership during the refurbishment programme. > back to top The fit out of the client’s office space was performed by refurbishment specialists, Overbury. The Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts are a suite of 19 different trusts that share the same office premises at 150 Victoria Street.

It’s been a very busy few months since the launch of PHMATTERS, our new quarterly e-newsletter and I’m delighted that PierceHill continues to flourish.
Film, television and stage actor Patrick Stewart OBE, most famous for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard (pictured right) in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was Amnesty International’s special guest at the official opening of the non-governmental organisation’s newly refurbished offices at Easton Street in the City of London.
PierceHill was appointed as contract administrator and quantity surveyor for the ‘fast-track’ refurbishment of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts’ headquarters office on the 1st floor of Allington House in Victoria Street, London – a project that was completed in just six weeks!
Privately-owned development and investment company O&H Properties has appointed PierceHill to provide quantity surveying services for the prestigious re-development of Lygon Place in Belgravia, one of London's most exclusive residential districts.
After a long and distinguished career spanning 50 years as a quantity surveyor, Roy Wood retired from the practice on 1 April 2007. Having previously been sole principal and later senior partner at Cooper & Wood, Roy became a director of PierceHill following the merger with Cooper & Wood in April 2003. 
Senior quantity surveyor Bryan Barker has joined PierceHill’s Sevenoaks office having returned to the UK following a three-year assignment in the USA. However, within days of joining the practice, Bryan ended up getting plastered – from his groin to his foot! The short walk from Sevenoaks railway station to the office turned into a nightmare for Bryan as he was involved in an accident with a car that resulted in a fractured tibia and a lengthy recuperation period at home. We all wish Bryan a speedy recovery!
