Professional Commercial Builders Covering Manchester
Freemont Building Ltd are Manchester based commercial builders providing refurbishment, fit-out, design and build services for businesses across Manchester and Greater Manchester. With more than 20 years of hands on experience in commercial construction, the team has delivered projects across hospitality, retail, leisure, dental, education and other commercial sectors.
From transforming empty commercial units into restaurants and hospitality venues to carrying out specialist fit-out and improvement works for established organisations, Freemont Building provides a complete service from the initial planning and preparation through to construction, finishing and handover.
The company’s Manchester roots are backed up by a substantial portfolio of completed projects across the region. Work includes commercial fit-outs in Manchester city centre, hospitality projects at MediaCityUK and Didsbury, retail enabling works in Stockport and improvement works for Droylsden Academy.
Whether the requirement is a complete commercial refurbishment, a new fit-out, structural alterations or a larger design and build project, Freemont Building can provide a practical, fully managed construction service.
Commercial Building Services in Manchester
Commercial construction projects need to balance quality with programme, budget, practicality and the requirements of the business using the premises. Freemont Building provides a range of commercial construction services designed around those requirements.
Commercial Refurbishments and Renovations
Commercial refurbishment can involve anything from updating the appearance and layout of an existing property to a complete strip-out and transformation.
Freemont Building undertakes both smaller refurbishment projects and larger commercial renovations, including internal reconfigurations, improvements to existing premises and structural works where required.
Typical refurbishment work can include:-
- Full or partial commercial strip-outs
- Internal reconfiguration and layout changes
- New partitions and ceilings
- Flooring and wall finishes
- Painting and decoration
- Plumbing and electrical works
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
- Structural alterations
- External and remedial works
The aim is to create a finished commercial environment that works for the business rather than simply making cosmetic changes to the existing property.
Commercial Fit-Outs
Commercial fit-outs are a major part of Freemont Building’s work in Manchester.
A successful fit-out needs to bring together numerous elements, including the internal layout, finishes, lighting, plumbing, electrical installations, specialist equipment and the practical requirements of the business.
Freemont has completed commercial fit-outs for restaurants, hospitality venues, retail premises, leisure facilities and specialist environments.
Depending on the project, fit-out works can include:-
- Internal partitions and stud walls
- Suspended ceilings
- Flooring and tiling
- Commercial kitchens and serveries
- Plumbing and electrical installations
- Lighting
- Ventilation and extraction
- Bespoke joinery
- Furniture and specialist equipment
- Signage and branding
- Decoration and finishing
The existing Manchester project portfolio demonstrates this capability particularly well, with restaurant and hospitality fit-outs including Gyros Street, Rola Wala, Honi Poke, both Manchester City and Manchester United Football clubs, and The Dockyard at Media City.
Design and Build
For businesses looking for a more complete solution, Freemont Building provides design and build services that bring planning, construction and project management together.
The existing service offering includes design support, planning assistance, project management and coordination through to completion.
A design and build approach can provide a straightforward route for clients who want a single team coordinating the different stages of their commercial project.
Structural Works and Alterations
Commercial properties sometimes require more than an internal refurbishment.
Freemont Building also undertakes structural works and alterations, including steelwork, structural strengthening and other improvements to existing buildings.
Where appropriate, structural work can form part of a wider refurbishment or fit-out project, allowing different elements of the construction to be coordinated as part of the same programme.
Commercial Extensions and External Works
Where a business needs additional space or improvements to the outside of an existing property, Freemont can incorporate extensions and external works into wider construction projects.
Depending on the requirements, this can include external alterations, paving, access improvements, drainage, retaining structures and associated groundwork.
Building Maintenance and Remedial Works
Commercial buildings need maintaining after the initial construction or refurbishment has been completed.
Freemont provides ongoing building maintenance and remedial services, including repairs, redecoration, roofing and other building related maintenance requirements.
For businesses and commercial property owners, having access to a contractor familiar with the building can also make ongoing maintenance and future improvement works easier to manage.
Commercial Building Projects Across Manchester
One of the biggest advantages of choosing an established commercial building contractor in Manchester is the opportunity to look at previous work.
Freemont Building has completed a wide variety of commercial projects throughout Manchester and Greater Manchester, covering hospitality, retail, leisure and education.
These projects demonstrate the breadth of work undertaken and provide genuine examples of Freemont’s commercial construction experience.
Gyros Street, Manchester
Freemont Building transformed a vacant commercial unit in central Manchester into a new Greek eatery for Gyros Street.
The project involved a complete rip-out and refurbishment, with works including damp proofing, screeding, plumbing, electrical and ventilation installations, followed by tiling, cladding, flooring and decoration.
The project demonstrates Freemont’s ability to coordinate the different elements of a hospitality fit-out and turn an empty commercial unit into a functioning restaurant.
Rola Wala, Manchester
Freemont Building completed the fit-out and refurbishment of a new Rola Wala restaurant in central Manchester.
The work included the strip-out and refurbishment of the premises, works to the commercial kitchen, bespoke furniture, paint spraying and external signage.
Projects such as this require careful coordination between the building works, commercial kitchen requirements, internal finishes and branding elements.
Honi Poke Restaurant, Manchester
Freemont Building was selected to fit out Honi Poke’s first Manchester store in a location close to St Anne’s Square and Deansgate.
The project involved the main restaurant and servery together with the lower ground floor kitchen and staff facilities. Works included new stud walls, a commercial kitchen and servery, tiling, lighting, decoration and external neon signage, together with modifications to kitchen services.
This is another example of Freemont delivering a complete commercial restaurant fit-out, coordinating both the customer facing areas and the operational areas behind them.
Manchester City Football Club – The Mancunian and The Chairman’s Club
Freemont Building was involved in the creation of the new club lounge areas at Manchester City Football Club, known as The Mancunian and The Chairman’s Club.
The project included a specialist fit-out incorporating custom built seating booths, a circular bar, bespoke joinery and fret panelling.
This project is a good example of the type of detailed commercial fit-out work required where the finished environment needs to combine functionality with a distinctive, high-quality interior.
The Range, Stockport
Freemont Building carried out landlords’ enabling works at the former Toys ‘R’ Us premises in Stockport before the unit was converted for use by The Range.
The work included internal strip-out, internal and external painting, roofing and gutter works and floor screeding.
This type of enabling work is particularly relevant to landlords, commercial property owners and businesses preparing premises for a new tenant or occupier.
@2Nakhon, Didsbury
Freemont Building transformed the premises into a new Thai restaurant and bar in Didsbury, near Manchester.
The project involved a full build and fit-out across two floors, a complete redesign and delivery of the project in time for the restaurant’s relaunch.
The Dockyard, MediaCityUK
The Dockyard was the first independent neighbourhood pub to open at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays.
Freemont Building carried out the full build and fit-out of the real ale bar, including the supply of catering equipment and extraction systems and installation of bespoke joinery.
The project demonstrates experience in delivering hospitality premises where building works, specialist equipment, extraction and bespoke interior elements all need to work together.
Droylsden Academy, Manchester
Freemont Building also has experience outside the hospitality and retail sectors.
At Droylsden Academy, the team carried out expansion and improvement works that included the creation of a new educational suite, work room and science laboratory, together with new flooring, redecoration and ventilation.
The project demonstrates the ability to adapt commercial construction experience to the requirements of an educational environment.

How Our Commercial Building Process Works
Every commercial project is different, but a clear process helps keep the work organised and gives the client a better understanding of what happens next.
Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
The process starts with understanding the property, the proposed use and the client’s requirements.
This is an opportunity to discuss the scope of work, identify any obvious challenges and establish what the project needs to achieve.
Scope, Programme and Budget
Once the requirements are understood, the project can be developed around the proposed scope, programme and budget.
Clear planning at this stage helps establish what work is required before construction begins.
Design and Pre-Construction
Where design and build services are required, the project can be developed before work starts on site.
Planning, design coordination and preparation are important parts of ensuring the construction phase runs as efficiently as possible.
Construction and Project Management
Once work begins, the different elements of the project are coordinated through construction, fit-out, installation and finishing.
For commercial premises, this may involve multiple trades and specialist installations working together.
Completion and Handover
The final stage involves completing the agreed works, finishing the premises and preparing the project for handover.
