Featured Case Study

Entrepreneurs Circle Headquarters

Client: Entrepreneurs Circle Location: Solihull, West Midlands Scope: 16,000 sq ft commercial CAT B fit-out Role: One Man Main Contractor Model: Solo-led, AI-powered lean construction

The Problem

The client had secured a flagship building for their new headquarters — but the proposals they were getting from traditional fit-out companies came in well into the seven figures and included:

  • Bloated specs
  • Unclear mark-ups
  • Excluded core infrastructure
  • No transparency or breakdown
  • Little alignment with their actual business priorities

"They were charging like a wounded bull… for a vanilla build."

The OMMC Solution

Brought in as a direct delivery partner, we stripped the model back to what actually mattered:

  • ✅ Scope rewritten around real business outcomes
  • ✅ Direct trade procurement — no contractor margin stacking
  • ✅ Delivery managed solo, using the Mission Control System™
  • ✅ Sequencing, compliance, and handover all tracked with AI-enhanced systems
  • ✅ Freed up budget reinvested into EV charging, commercial kitchen, and premium AV

What the Client Said

"Craig has worked with us for the past seven months as the Project Manager running our seven-figure fit-out project at our new 16,000 sq ft building in Solihull.

He's done an amazing job – quite brilliant really – and the benefits of having him working directly for us have been huge – not least the £250K+ in cost savings that he's delivered compared to using a traditional fit-out company to handle things!

Craig really knows his stuff, he added so much value to the project, brought it in on time and on budget, and was a joy to work with not just for me and my team but for all the trades and regulators involved. I can't recommend him highly enough."

Traditional vs OMMC Approach

❌ Traditional Main Contractor
Client
Main Contractor (15-25% margin)
Sub-Contractors (10-15% margin)
Trades (markup on markup)

Multiple layers = Higher costs, slower decisions

✅ OMMC Direct Delivery
Client
OMMC (Fixed 5-10% fee)
Trades (net cost pass-through)

Direct line = Lower costs, faster decisions

Result: £250,000+ Saved
By eliminating margin stacking and management layers
