DESIGN & BUILD
At Elegon, we transform tired, underused spaces like old offices, retail units, or former factories into beautiful, practical early years and education environments that really work for you, your team, and the children in your care.
And if you’re starting with a blank piece of land rather than an existing building, we can do that too. We also deliver new-build settings from the ground up, taking projects from the very first dig right through to opening day.
​We work hands-on with our trusted team of expert trades, many of whom we’ve partnered with for years, and we bring in specialist contractors wherever a project needs them - from plumbing and electrical works, to fire safety systems, access control, and bespoke joinery. Everything is carefully coordinated and managed by us, so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about who’s responsible for what.
Whether we’re working with an existing building or creating something completely new, our role is the same: to take your ideas and turn them into a fully functioning space. That means practical solutions, child-friendly finishes, safe and secure layouts, and environments that feel warm, welcoming, and ready for learning and play.
Some clients come to us with detailed drawings and a clear brief. Others start with little more than a vision. Either way, we’ll guide you through the process, offering practical advice, honest input, and clear communication from start to finish.
Our aim is simple: to make the build process as smooth and stress-free as possible, while delivering a space you’re genuinely excited to open the doors to.
FAQs
What types of projects does Elegon handle?
We work on everything from refurbishing existing spaces like offices, retail units, or old factories, to building brand-new early years and education settings from the ground up. This includes indoor spaces, outdoor areas, landscaped grounds, forest school areas, and bespoke play features.
Do you design spaces?
Yes! We work closely with the Cosy Room Planning service, trusted architects, and other design specialists to create both indoor and outdoor spaces that are practical, safe, and inspiring. Whether it’s refurbishing an existing setting or building a brand-new environment, we combine expert design with our hands-on construction experience to bring your vision to life.
How do you ensure compliance and safety?
Compliance and safety are central to everything we do. From the initial planning stage and building control to fire regulations and refurbishment, we deliver work to the highest standards. Our SMSTS-qualified site manager, Tom, oversees every project to ensure safety, quality, and adherence to regulations. At handover, we provide a thorough walkthrough and guidance so your setting is fully functional, secure, and ready for inspections, approvals, and everyday use.
Do you offer bespoke features for early years settings?
Yes! We create fully bespoke features tailored to your setting and vision. From custom joinery and finishes, like kitchen units and bathroom fittings, to outdoor climbing frames, classrooms, and creative play areas, you can choose the details that make your space truly unique.
How do you minimise disruption during the build?
We meticulously coordinate all trades and manage programmes to reduce disruption. Our approach ensures your setting remains as functional as possible during refurbishment or construction, allowing staff and children to carry on with minimal interruption.
