Purpose Driven Solutions 1.png

Andrew Philips
Managing Director

Successful delivery of Construction Fit-Out projects is what I strive for. I have particular expertise in Office Fit-outHybrid Office delivery, Co-Working development and a long track record of projects ranging from New Concepts to Roll-out, Restaurants and Retail to Rebranding and mixed-use Development.

​

My expertise in Co-Working comes from having participated in excess of 1,6 million square feet of development for WeWork (more than £ 250 million in development costs) as Director of Development (UK, Europe & Israel).

​

I am passionate about fast-track, cost-effective, solution-oriented project delivery. My particular skills are powered by unlocking the benefits of collaborative negotiation and leveraging market-leading methods to "fast-launch" projects. I am adept at leading projects that blend concept design with classic D&B processes - I call it DD&B (Design Develop & Build). This maximises the core benefits of D&B (and DD&B) on larger scale projects (+5,000 sq. ft.). I am a pioneer at combining Cat A and Cat B fit-out scopes for both Tenant and Landlord benefits.

​

I have extensive experience of increasing occupational densities of both new and existing buildings (imagine 1 per 5 m2 !! - yes, it can be done, comfortably too). These and other construction and development processes constantly push the envelope and disrupt the traditional mindsets of the construction industry.

​

My mantra is "there is no "No".

​

At PDS we are particularly skilled at establishing successful delivery strategies to achieve shortest, realistic project delivery and have developed an approach that supports Clients from pre-lease due diligence assessments (informing Tenant lease negotiations to improve deals with Landlords), tendering and negotiating competitive costs with both D&B or traditional Main Contractors and crafting implementation processes that deliver earliest occupation - everything we do is always "purpose driven" and Client success focused.

​

We are proud of our unrestricted mindset when problem solving and willingness to challenge industry norms ("the road less travelled").

​

I enjoy what I do and have fun doing it. That means I laugh a lot, especially when the going gets tough. I embrace relentless positivity in the face of challenges. I pursue pragmatic solutions at all times.
