RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ADD REAL VALUE
Our self-delivery approach to facilities maintenance means that we can deploy the right resource at the right time to ensure efficient and effective delivery.
AN EYE ON THE BOTTOM-LINE
We explore the operating costs of our recommendations, so your programme is protected and can look to generate savings instead.
SUPPORT FROM START TO FINISH
We know what success looks like across the lifecycle, helping you avoid common project pitfalls. We look ahead to ensure smooth systems integration and handover from the start.

Our well-seasoned Facilities Maintenance expertise allows us to generate cost and programme savings, as well as improvements on delivery.
We maintain an end-result focus throughout, so your project is set up for end-user outcomes from the outset.

Design

DESIGN THAT DELIVERS FOR THE PROJECT
We design with an eye on innovation, grounded in reality. We understand project implementation, and design to make it straightforward.
SPECIFICATION THAT ENSURES SUPPLY
Our broad Facilities Maintenance experience, from installation to handover, means we understand the features and limitations of the available products.
REALISM THAT REDUCES REWORK
We undertake feasibility studies on our Facilities Maintenance designs to ensure built-in buildability, limiting the risk of rework and delays down the line.
VALUE ENGINEERING FROM THE EARLIEST STAGES
VVB has experience operating to British, European and international standards in Facilities Maintenance, as well as client-specific requirements. Our team of Facilities Maintenance design engineers are experts across our key sectors, and remain on-hand throughout installation for timely troubleshooting.
Our end-result focus means a seamless transition from design to delivery.
We design in line with true project requirements, planning a system we know we can build.
We can return to First Principles to validate and improve third-party design work.
Installation

CANDID COMMUNICATIONS TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE
Candid communication means greater efficiency. We liaise directly with third-party service providers to keep things straightforward.
INSTALLATION THROUGH INNOVATION
Our proven methodology flexes to individual projects, and trial installations ensure delivery is right first time, in line with our support of GIRI.
EFFICIENCY THROUGH OPTIMISATION AND COLLABORATION
We work alongside other contractors to optimise programme delivery and efficiently ensure best practice.
SELF-DELIVERING FOR FULL ACCOUNTABILITY
VVB’s approach to installation considers other project phases and third-party suppliers. This ensures your project is delivered on time and on budget.
Throughout installation, we’re validating the design, maintaining assets, and carrying out testing, to highlight any potential issues upfront, and minimise time spent in later project phases.
We provide Temporary, Enabling and Permanent Works projects, saving the time and complexity spent managing multiple providers.
We understand and appreciate other trades, and work flexibly with other parties, coordinating and managing multiple interfaces.
We don’t subcontract, we fully self-deliver, meaning full control and full accountability.
Testing & Commissioning

BEING PROACTIVE STARTS TO PAY OFF
Throughout installation we test, troubleshoot and record results, so the efficiencies start to stack up.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING TAKEN CARE OF
Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), Site Acceptance Tests (SATs) and Site Commissioning assures the smooth integration of individual Facilities Maintenance systems and components.
COLLABORATIVE SIGN-OFF FOR SEAMLESS HANDOVER
We keep all parties up to speed throughout, so everyone understands the results and sign-off is straightforward.
BRINGING THE SYSTEM INTO USE
As we bring the system into use, our full lifecycle approach really pays off. With verification and testing taking place throughout design and installation, we deliver a fully accredited system, quickly, with no nasty surprises.
We undertake final verification of installation against design, but testing the system and recording results during installation allows us to deliver significant programme savings.
Our experienced team will deliver a fully optimised system, aligned with your specific project KPIs, requirements and scope.
We provide full testing and commissioning, so you receive complete assurance that everything is working as it should, setting the project up for a seamless handover.

We start maintenance during installation, so your system is handed over to you in the best possible condition.
We build bespoke maintenance schedules that deliver exactly the right levels of inspection and support.
We’ll work with you to develop a unique set of SLAs and KPIs, to ensure you get the service you expect.
