Metro Building & Architectural Services is a family owned and run business that has been working in the construction industry for over 27 years. Established in September 1981 initially as a building services contractor, mainly providing Mechanical and Electrical services to the domestic field and larger building contractors. In June 1982 the company diversified into Building Construction works, when the renowned designer shop ‘Valentinos’ in Sloane Street, London W1 was refurbished (contract value of £65,000). Since this opportunity Metro has developed a team of professionals to service the industry and in doing so have built a high degree of loyalty and commitment, which ensures quality and ‘right first time’ pride in the job. We have been involved as principal contractors in a number of projects in a verity of procurements.

Our company currently operates from East London from where we undertake works throughout Greater London and the Home Counties. In early 1995 we re-structured and expanded our operations into three specialist divisions – Construction, Architectural & Technical – allowing the company to build on its successes, and to enable our plans for dedicated and experienced players to focus on specific operations.

Construction - Harbinder Singh Manku, HND (Managing Director) Harbinder has been Managing Director of Metro since September 1981. Harbinder specialises in construction, refurbishment and restoration projects up to the value of £1.5 million, services include:

Architectural & Technical - Amandeep Singh Manku, BA (Hons) aBIAT Amandeep has been in control of the architectural division since 1994. the division of the company focuses on:  Measured surveys Initial analysis of brief, sketch designs, budget costing & programming Detailed design, specification and tender costing Submission of Planning and Building Regulations applications Refurbishment of domestic and commercial properties Interior and furniture design including furniture manufacturing

Surveying & Project Management - Daljinder Singh Manku, Bsc (Hons) Daljinder takes care of the technical services which include the following:  Estimating, negotiating and purchasing Quantity Surveying Project Management Planning Supervisor Contract Administration Site supervision

Whilst we manage and control the majority of building activities in-house, we have the advantage of being able to draw on a number of other businesses and services to provide and facilitate Metro in any additional support that may be required (i.e Structural Engineer, Civil Engineers etc.) Metro takes great lengths to ensure a consistent high quality of workmanship both at design and construction stages. We have achieved recommendations through our works by appearing in construction magazines such as Designers Journal in 1987, Financial Times in 1988, South East Architectural Journal in 1991, Architecture Today in 1993 and Building Review in 2000.

We are able to bring in-depth expertise with truly flexible approach to meet our clients’ requirements. With our highly experienced team, our operations can be executed through partnered, negotiated or competitively tendered works. Metro are a genuine ‘value for money’ company who deliver on time and who are fully committed to individual contracts. We are always directly responsible for each project and work closely with the client to produce and execute the works to their satisfaction. We are keen to build upon project success to forge new links and to work to establish long term relationships with clients. We aim to take all the worries of the construction processes away from the client and are committed to ensuring that projects are completed to the clients satisfaction.  Our extensive client list is drawn from both public and private sectors.
