About Lockwood Building Projects

Breathing New Life into Commercial and Heritage Spaces

We aren't just surveyors; we are enthusiastic advocates for regeneration. At Lockwood Building Projects, we specialise in taking used, unloved buildings—large and small—and breathing new life into them. Whether you are looking at a small improvement or a major commercial overhaul, we provide the technical oversight and creative problem-solving required to make your project a success.

Our approach is rooted in collaboration. We believe that the best results come from working closely with architects, trusts, and developers to ensure every project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest possible standard.

Led by Adrian: 20 Years of Technical Excellence

Our firm is led by Adrian, an Associate Member of RICS with two decades of experience across the commercial property sector. Adrian’s career has been defined by managing high-stakes, complex environments where precision is non-negotiable.

Before founding Lockwood Building Projects, Adrian managed the Barbican Art Gallery and oversaw its £2.1m refurbishment. He was also a core member of the team that developed the award-winning Centre of the Cell—the first science exhibition centre located inside a working medical laboratory. This background in complex, technical, and heritage-sensitive projects ensures that we bring a unique level of detail to every survey and renovation we touch.

Why Property Owners and Trusts Choose Us

We understand that property management is about more than just bricks and mortar; it’s about long-term sustainability and financial viability.

  • Regeneration Specialists: We spent seven years developing the Creative Quarter in Folkestone, transforming a portfolio of 90 buildings from 80% derelict to 99% occupancy.
  • Education Estate Experts: We provide specialist services for schools and academies, including CIF bid assistance to secure funding and RAAC inspections to ensure safety.
  • Strategic Asset Planning: We don't just look at the building today; we look at where it needs to be in 15 years. We recently developed a 15-year sustainability plan for the Hat District in Luton for The Culture Trust.

From Small Improvements to Major Overhauls

Whether you need a condition survey for a single commercial unit or a clerk of works for a multi-million-pound new build, we adapt our services to your specific needs. We have successfully project-managed the construction of the £23m Turner Free School and collaborated on creative hubs like the 20th Century Speedway in Folkestone.
