Working With Maris

THE INTEGRATED APPROACH

Relocation is one of the most complex projects a business will undertake.

PARTNERSHIP, NOT TRANSACTION

It involves managing legal timelines, landlord relations, technical compliance, design, and construction, all while keeping your business running.

Many businesses make the mistake of treating this as a transactional purchase. They hire a property agent, then a designer, then a project manager, and finally a builder. This fragmentation creates gaps in responsibility, communication, and budget.

At Maris, we operate differently. We act as a single strategic partner from the very first conversation. As noted in the Maris Playbook, “We guide clients from early feasibility through to final move-in.” By integrating strategy, design, and delivery under one roof, we remove the friction and de-risk the complexity.

THE MARIS METHODOLOGY:

END-TO-END CONTROL

Our integrated model allows us to control the outcome because we control the process. We don’t just build the design; we help shape the strategy that informs it.

1. Strategy-Led Delivery:

We are structured to deliver certainty. Our involvement often starts before a location is chosen.

Discovery: We validate your business case and challenge your assumptions.
Site Assessment: We technically assess candidate buildings to ensure they can support your IT and M&E (Mechanical and Electrical) needs before you sign the lease.
Delivery: We transition seamlessly from design to construction without the “value engineering” battles that happen when the designer and builder are separate companies.

2. The 9-Phase Backbone:

Our delivery is built on the structured 9-Phase Framework outlined in Chapter 5.

The Consistency: This process is not rigid, but it provides a safety net. Whether you are moving a team of 50 or 500, the governance, safety checks, and quality gates remain the same.
The Outcome: As highlighted in the source, “What stays consistent is our focus on control, communication, and quality.”

3. Senior-Level Commitment:

You are not handed off to a junior team once the contract is signed. We maintain senior-level commitment from the initial pitch through to post-occupancy care.

THE CFO’S CORNER:

CERTAINTY & TRANSPARENCY

For a Finance Director, the priority is risk mitigation. Our model is designed to provide financial clarity.

We provide detailed cost planning and value engineering workshops early in the process. You see where the money is going.

This prevents the common industry trap where a project is designed over-budget and has to be redesigned later, causing delays.

Programme Certainty: Because we control the procurement and the site management, we can commit to move-in dates with confidence.
The Benefit: You avoid the costs of “overstaying” in your old lease or needing temporary swing space.

MARIS TOOLS:

THE “VIABILITY WORKSHOP”

We encourage prospective clients not to guess, but to test. Before you commit to us, engage with our tools.

The Site Viability Workshop: We review your shortlisted buildings and provide a “Test Fit” to show exactly how your team would fit into the floorplate.
The Lease Review: We help you understand the technical implications of the lease (e.g., reinstatement clauses) so you can negotiate better terms.
