Project Management for Asset Upgrades and Minor Works

Norfolk

Greyfriars Project Management is delivering an ongoing programme of minor works for Norfolk County Council—spanning agricultural, community and emergency service assets. Acting as independent, client‑side project managers, we worked with NCC teams, including County Farms and Norfolk Libraries, to plan, procure and deliver upgrades that strengthen long‑term value, resilience and operational efficiency.

Public Sector Assets in Norfolk

Greyfriars is delivering a suite of projects that span agricultural, community, and emergency service assets. These include:

Norfolk County Farms – Willow, Elder & Harefen

Greyfriars led improvement works across multiple agricultural sites, upgrading infrastructure to better support tenant farmers. Works were carefully scheduled around seasonal farming operations to minimise disruption and maximise impact.

Access Track Restoration

At four farm sites, Greyfriars managed the restoration of access tracks using Norfolk County Council’s standard design. The team oversaw procurement, coordinated construction monitoring with NCC’s laboratory, and liaised directly with tenants to meet critical deadlines such as harvest periods.

Library Feasibility Reviews

Feasibility and viability studies were conducted for proposed extensions and refurbishments at Swaffham, Watton, Attleborough, and Dereham libraries. Greyfriars provided site surveys, cost management, and detailed reporting to support future investment decisions in community assets.

Fire Station Compressor Servicing

Greyfriars oversaw the replacement and relocation of breathing apparatus compressors at multiple Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service stations. The team ensured uninterrupted emergency readiness by coordinating procurement, contractor management, and necessary building modifications
