Developers often rely on multiple subcontractors across different regions. While this can work for some trades, air conditioning is different. Inconsistent systems, poor documentation, and fragmented support can lead to expensive defects and lost time.
Developers often rely on multiple subcontractors across different regions. While this can work for some trades, air conditioning is different. Inconsistent systems, poor documentation, and fragmented support can lead to expensive defects and lost time.
Working with one trusted air conditioning partner across all projects in Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey brings better results. It supports repeatable design, clearer communication, and fewer problems at handover.
This blog explains why developer clients benefit from one long-term air conditioning relationship instead of shopping around for every job.
Using a different air conditioning company on every site creates:
Developers in Reading and Wokingham have shared frustrations when post-handover problems are blamed on unclear or missing contractor information.
Working with one partner brings:
On recent sites in Winchester and Camberley, ClimateWorks clients saw a 40 percent reduction in time spent on post-PC queries due to improved documentation and support.
A client with four sites over three years now uses the same ducted system design across all houses. Builders follow the same prep guide. Handover packs are identical. Defects have reduced and their FM team saves time on training.
Units A through E were completed by ClimateWorks over six months. All units used the same wall-mounted configuration and condensate design. No time was lost retraining site teams or revising plant locations.
The developer chose a ducted MVHR solution based on lessons learned from a previous ClimateWorks install in Basingstoke. Repeat design meant the M&E consultant approved it in days instead of weeks.
“We stopped changing air conditioning companies and just stuck with one. It saves so much time.”
Construction Director, Reading (2024)
“Our O&M packs now actually make sense. And when something needs fixing, we know exactly who to call.”
Project Manager, Newbury (2023)
This applies whether your projects are in Woking, Andover or Oxford.
If you currently use different firms across projects:
Developers who take this step gain control, speed and confidence.
