Shape have joined Peel Land & Property & Grosvenor as Headline Sponsors of the Liverpool Delegation with Invest Liverpool for MIPIM 2019. We realise the importance of promoting the Liverpool City Region on an International Stage and look forward to being ambassadors for Liverpool at MIPIM, promoting the key messages of the LCR;

• Our City Region is growing and investors can access growth
• Liverpool has a long term development plan supported by both Private & Public Sectors
• We know what we are good at. We have genuine competitive advantages; we are world class in tourism, cultural & digital growth, manufacturing & computing which is underpinned by Local Government support

Shape were delighted when Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram, dropped into Shape HQ recently to discuss our plans for 2019 & how Shape will be advancing the Liverpool City Region as ambassadors for future growth. Steve has been a great advocate and also provided the following testimonial; 

 “Shape Engineering are an exciting, innovative, dynamic and ever-expanding company that are bringing new ideas and a new approach to the housing market – not only in the Liverpool City Region but further afield.

Led by young passionate entrepreneurs – who care about the work they do and the customers they do it for – Shape are forcing people to sit up, listen and take note of what they are doing.

If they continue at their current pace, Shape are destined to become a prominent and permanent feature within the housing market – Locally, Nationally and Internationally in the years ahead.”

Shape are thrilled with our successful placement on the Built Environment Consultancy Services Framework Perfect Circle, a joint venture formed by Pick Everard, Gleeds and AECOM, set up to realise value and opportunity for public authorities, Scape and communities across the UK.

Here are some of our latest Building Information Models from a variety of projects across the UK….

A new 47 apartment scheme in the Ropewalks area of Liverpool City Centre has taken a step forward this week after Living Brick Ltd’s planning approval gained consent by City Planners.

Liverpool Contractor Crossfield Construction has been appointed to deliver the £4m project which will take approximately 12 months, with a design team consisting of Day Architectural and Shape Engineering.

‘The Chavasse Building’, situated on the corner of Lydia Ann Street and Suffolk Street will see the construction of boutique living spaces, along with a resident’s gymnasium, a Japanese inspired ‘Zen’ rooftop garden, and generous floor plans taking advantage of the expansive city views.  The living spaces comprises 20 micro apartments of around 34sqm with 18 one bedroom apartments averaging 50sqm, and the remaining units being two bedrooms of around 74 sqm.

The key focus for the scheme has been the provision of sustainable residential accommodation geared towards the requirements of modern, city centre living. All of the apartments are currently larger than the comparable competitor’s properties that are being marketed in relation to value per square foot.

Barry Wilson, Director of Shape Consulting Engineers, said: “Shape are delighted to be involved in a scheme producing such high quality residential accommodation on a site with excellent transportation links to the wider city, helping to reinforce connections to the historic Ropewalks area”.
