That's why after more than two decades managing and programming a variety of construction projects, Steph Marshall founded Plan889 to give clients something different: A partner who understands both your business objectives and the realities of the construction landscape. ## Our experience Over the past 20 years, we’ve managed and planned projects ranging from £200k to £250m, across a variety of sectors. Our experience spans commercial offices and retrofits, hotels, higher education, mixed-use developments, and heritage refurbishments. That real-world knowledge means every programme we produce is rooted in practicality for your project, not just ideas that look good on paper. ![Steph Marshall](https://www.plan889.com/hubfs/1517485674710.jpg "Steph Marshall") [Connect with me on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmarshall-plan889/) ## Steph Marshall ### Founder and Planning Director Steph’s 20-plus years in construction began on-site, progressing from site / project management into dedicated planning roles on some of the UK’s most complex schemes.
