Trusted Leisure Solutions
Guildmore is a trusted partner in the leisure sector, specialising in the construction of wet leisure centres, gyms, sports facilities, and community centres. We provide bespoke design & build solutions, guiding clients from initial consultation through to full life-cycle costing & analysis.
Through collaboration with both public and private sector partners, we build places that inspire communities and are designed to last.
Building for Communities
Our mission is to create spaces that improve the quality of life, happiness and health of communities for years to come. That’s why we provide full life-cycle costing & analysis, helping our partners to future proof their facilities and plan for the long term.
We proactively consult and engage with stakeholders, residents and local authorities from the outset, leading to optimal outcomes for the communities we serve. Our in-depth logistical plans and considerate construction methods ensure the safe, efficient and seamless execution of leisure projects.
Our extensive experience in constrained live environments means that we are trusted to deliver on all types of sites, no matter how logistically challenging or complex.
Low-Carbon Innovations
Our in-house design team works with leading architects to implement Passivhaus solutions, helping to reduce life-cycle energy usage and optimise building performance.
We help partners achieve the highest possible BREAAM Score, ensuring a minimum rating of Very Good / Excellent where achievable. We achieve this by championing innovative technologies, such as energy saving variable speed pumps to heat pools and chlorine-free water treatment options to reduce environmental impact.
Our methodology results in buildings with lower running costs, reduced carbon footprint, and minimal waste, ensuring that communities are not only healthier and more active, but more sustainable too.
