The commercial sector in East Anglia is showing consistently healthy growth and as demand within the region increases so the practice has received further opportunities to design for business. Recent commissions include new-build office buildings and refurbishments of existing premises for consultancy firms and e-commerce companies.

Our experience in both commercial development and sustainability allows us to offer our clients designs for cost-effective capital investment projects which minimise their year-on-year running costs.

The import and export of goods is important to the economy of the Eastern Region and the Free Port status of Felixstowe and Harwich announced in 2021 has resulted in a rapid increase warehousing and logistics along the A12 and A14 corridors. To date, Barefoot & Gilles has developed over a million square feet of mechanised industrial storage.

Work is central to many people’s lives and in addition to our construction projects we have been appointed to advise on improving working environments to promote team-building and corporate identity.
