for our Travelodge projects,” Ricky explains.“ This enables the hotel to remain open and operational while we complete the required refurbishment work, meaning minimal disruption for both guests and the business.”
It’ s clear to see that Fortis Vision has seen significant growth across all sectors as it approaches its seventh year of operating. The business has expanded rapidly from £ 9
million to £ 50 million in turnover, expanding its workforce significantly to ensure that it has the right people with the right skills to deliver projects for clients.“ We’ re extremely proud of the teams that we have in place. From design and planning to post completion, we care about the work undertaken, consistently delivering to a high standard at pace.”
Complex project delivery
For any player in the UK’ s construction industry, sustainability is perhaps the biggest topic on anyone’ s mind.“ We’ re very proud of our ongoing partnership with Alphacello, a B-Corp certified consultancy with expertise in sustainable construction processes and practices,” Ricky states.“ Internally, we’ re adding more EVs to our fleet, procuring sustainable office items and we’ re committed to recycling 98 per cent of all waste generated from sites.
“ In terms of projects, although we’ re primarily governed by our clients, we work collaboratively and operate an internal sustainability policy and carbon verification. We offer air source heat pump( ASHP) installations and the associated pipework retrofits, hot water cylinders, smart heater and smart water tank upgrades, which have built-in sensors to learn occupants’ schedules and provide efficient heating and water when it’ s needed.”
As our conversation continues, Ricky turns his attention to another key topic in the construction sector – technology.“ We’ ve recently transitioned to Procore, a centralised project management system, which will transform how we manage information, communication, and compliance across our sites,” he reveals.“ With the requirements of the 2022 Building Safety Act now in place, Procore will help us deliver the golden thread of information for our clients, with all documents, drawings, and site visits documented through the platform.”
Commenting on what’ s next for Fortis Vision, Ricky concludes:“ We’ re now focused well into 2026 and we’ re engaging with clients about upcoming projects to ensure our workstreams align with their schedules. We have a number of projects currently undergoing Gateway 2 applications with the Building Safety Regulator, and like the whole industry, we’ re experiencing challenges with timeframes for these approvals”.
Given the company’ s ability to deliver complex and challenging projects at pace, Fortis Vision has clearly established a trusted partnership with some of the UK’ s largest PBSA providers. With strong commitments to sustainability, technology, and client collaboration, Fortis Vision will remain at the forefront of the UK’ s ever-evolving refurbishment and development sector. ■
