Project Case Study

Thank you for taking the time to fill in this form. Your answers are the raw material for the case study — you don't need to write anything polished, just give us the facts, stories and details and we'll handle the write-up. The more specific you are, the better the result.

⏱ Estimated time: 20–30 minutes  ·  Sections 2 and 5 are the most important

1 — Project Overview
⚠️
Before completing this form, link the case study to a project. Search for an existing project record below, or find and import from Dynamics CRM.

Check the auto-filled fields below and complete anything missing.

Who at the client can we list as a reference in bid submissions?

Names and roles — Contract Manager, PM, Commercial Manager, Designer, TSM, others.

e.g. PM, QS, M&E Consultant, Architect — include company names.

2 — The Project Story

This is the most important section — your answers here become the narrative of the case study. Don't worry about polished writing, just give us the detail.

Think about their brief, their ambitions, their target occupiers, the problem they were solving.

Example: British Land wanted to transform 6 empty, dated floors into a highly lettable multi-tenant CAT B offering — targeting tech and creative occupiers with a flexible, ESG-conscious scheme.

Was it stripped back? A tired office? How dramatic is the transformation?

Example: The floor was a forgotten, underused office nicknamed "the forgotten building". The finished space is an unrecognisable standout speculative CAT B with bespoke joinery and full-marks CCS.

A technical achievement, a milestone hit against the odds, a relationship, a design feature, an award.

Example: Hitting PC on the original contracted date despite three major mid-construction design changes, managing a 51-storey shared logistics challenge.

Unusual materials? World firsts? Any certifications achieved?

Example: We installed the world's first WELL Coworking rated flex workspace using innovative demountable full-height partitions.

e.g. re-engaged after a previous project, competitive tender win, framework, negotiated appointment.

Example: After successfully delivering Level 4, Stanhope specifically requested Cast for their own HQ fit out on Level 33.

Imagine you're at a networking event. What's the headline that makes someone want to know more?

Example: We transformed a forgotten floor into a stunning co-working destination for Stanhope — hitting a 13-week programme and achieving full-marks CCS throughout.
3 — Scope

Tick everything that applied to this project, then add a brief description for each ticked item.

4 — Programme & Delivery

Logistics, access, and programme performance — the context that explains how the project was delivered.

Example: We faced three significant mid-construction design changes. By rearranging our programme activities, we absorbed the changes and delivered on the originally contracted date.
Example: A leak from the floor above caused a 2-week delay, pushing PC by 11 days. We mitigated further impact through programme resequencing.

Access, deliveries, building management, height, City of London restrictions, out-of-hours working…

Example: A single goods lift shared between 7 main contractors across 51 floors created significant logistics risk. We attended daily DABS meetings to protect our delivery slots.
5 — Challenges & Lessons Learned

This section produces the most compelling part of any case study. Describe 2–3 real challenges and exactly how the team overcame them. Be specific.

Example of a good answer —
Challenge: 1 goods lift shared between 7 contractors on a 51-storey building.
What we did: Attended daily DABS with building management. Prepared a detailed works schedule.
Lesson: Stringent daily coordination removes lift access as a risk factor on high-rise projects.

6 — Sustainability, ESG & Extra Value

These details often differentiate Cast in bids. Be as specific as possible — actual certifications, percentages, and tangible outcomes land much better than general statements.

BREEAM, WELL, reuse strategy, % remanufactured furniture, Solace partnership, circular design…

Example: Client target was BREEAM Excellent. We partnered with Solace for a circular design review, specified 53% remanufactured furniture — achieving BREEAM Excellent and full-marks CCS.

Cost savings, design improvements, proactive extras during precon…

Example: We identified that the existing ceiling grid could be reused across 60% of the floor, saving the client approximately £40k and avoiding unnecessary strip-out waste.
Example: Full marks CCS (45/45), BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Coworking rating — world's first for a flex workspace.

Volunteering, charity events, apprenticeships, local supply chain…

7 — Final Details

Almost done. These last questions help us add a human angle and spot future opportunities.

A record broken, a great stat, a human interest angle…

Example: The floor was nicknamed "the forgotten building" for years — the finished project completely changed that reputation overnight.
Example: We were subsequently invited to deliver their second flex space at The Rowe, Whitechapel — 25,000 sqft.
