Where imagination meets innovation
Movies and TV have come a long way since the 1880s. But, at the heart, there have always been efficient and high-quality production spaces.
The spaces we build for the film, media, and creative arts industries are not only modern and sustainable, they’re built with current and future talent in mind. From studios and sound stages to ancillary buildings like parking lots, we’re geared to deliver buildings that make production easier.
We also ensure that independents have inspiring places to operate from, contributing to a broader blend of content. Investment in modern infrastructure ensures that the legacy of film and high-end TV continues for decades to come.
Your creative journey begins here.

What we do
How we operate
We’re immersed in the film industry. With a deep understanding of its intricacies, from pre-production to post-production, our expertise allows us to navigate challenges seamlessly. Through our experience, we contribute valuable insights to enhance the creative and technical aspects of your productions.
We have a team of specialists with diverse skills crucial to film production. Whether it’s cinematography, visual effects, or sound, our experts will elevate each aspect of any project.
We recognise the tight deadlines and schedules in creative production, so we work with you to ensure you can keep things moving forward, even if that means we temporarily step back.
We are an invisible builder that quietly works in the background, utilising skilled partners and supply chains that understand the significance of high security and segregation awareness.
The specialists in our teams have a deep understanding of the industry’s nuances. For example, the importance of shot lists and keeping production on track. Through regular dialogue, we avoid disruptive surprises.
We stay at the forefront of industry advancements, providing your projects with the benefits of the latest equipment and software, and contributing to the overall quality and innovation of your work.
Our high levels of creativity in exploring new boundaries and ideas help you elevate your productions, making them stand out in a competitive industry. Your vision is our priority, and we’re dedicated to understanding and fulfilling your specific needs.
Collaboration is central to our work. We integrate with your internal teams and other contractors, fostering an environment of teamwork that facilitates a smooth flow of communication and ideas, ultimately contributing to the overall success of the production.
We thrive in the film industry’s fast-paced and ever-changing environment. Our teams are adaptive, navigating ever-changing project requirements and unforeseen challenges, while delivering without compromise.
Whether it’s the intricate details of set design or the precision required for post-production environments, we approach every task with a keen eye for detail.
McLaren has a proud track record of delivering heritage hotels for long-standing customers with portfolios that contain historic and listed buildings. Our experience covers procurement and engaging stakeholders to deliver sometimes challenging works with a limited range of skilled suppliers.
Our specialism is refurbishment to create modern and efficient spaces that enhance a historic building and make it workable. Our Heritage Steering Team help to build the supply chain, always with an eye for cost efficiencies despite the challenging marketplace and the reality of shortages of skilled heritage contractors.
For all hotel construction projects, we provide full visibility of how every aspect will impact on live business operations, maximising efficiencies and protecting the guest experience, reputation and revenue stream at all times.
Our works dovetail with the operation of a live hotel so that interaction between sub-contractors, hotel staff and guests is planned to avoid disruption and disturbance.
Room upgrades are carefully phased with week-by-week scheduling and an open channel of communication with hotel management. Our collaborative approach means we can free up the highest revenue producing areas as quickly as possible, always keeping the number of unavailable rooms to an absolute minumum.
Physical barriers and clear signage segregates work areas to promote guest and staff safety and all exit routes are kept clear.
