300 years of history. Fully operational. Grade I listed. Right next to King's College Chapel.

How do you modernise a building like the Gibbs Building at King’s College, Cambridge without losing what makes it special?

We've been appointed to project manage a full refurbishment – decarbonisation, accessibility, modernisation – all while the building stays in use.

Driven is now fully integrated into Ridge! 🏁

Since we acquired Driven last year, our teams have been working ever closer together, combining Driven's specialist racetrack design and master planning expertise with Ridge's multidisciplinary capabilities in architecture, engineering, and project and cost management.

The result is a truly end-to-end motorsport consultancy - one that's uniquely placed to deliver world-class facilities for clients across the globe.

We've been proud to lead in the motorsport sector since our first Formula 1 project in 1991. This integration takes that legacy further, bringing together two businesses that share the same values: quality, ingenuity, and a genuine commitment to the clients we serve.

A huge welcome to the Driven team 👏

How can smart surveying solutions help digitize estates more efficiently?

All Souls College, Oxford - 600 years old, now has a fully realised digital twin.

Our latest survey at All Souls College demonstrates how Ridge is using advanced laser scanning and SLAM technology with the NavVis VLX/MLX scanners to deliver fast, accurate, and non-intrusive point cloud data. This enables clients to visualise entire sites in 3D, supporting BIM modelling, and integration with planned preventative maintenance (PPM) surveys.

By capturing a detailed snapshot of building conditions, we help clients plan long-term maintenance, and forecast budgets with confidence. The result? Smarter asset management, reduced site disruption, and a future-ready estate strategy. by @ridgellp

We’re proud to share that the Gradel Quadrangles project has been nominated for Project of the Year at this year’s Building Magazine Awards 🎉

Designed by Kohn Architects and delivered by project managers and surveyors at Ridge, this development for New College Oxford reimagines the traditional Oxford Quad for the 21st century. The project includes 99 student rooms, a striking 22-metre tower, and three new south-facing quadrangles, all brought together with thoughtful design and a deep respect for heritage. Sustainability was at the heart of this project; by adopting low carbon
materials, the team achieved over 190t of embodied carbon savings which is a powerful step toward more responsible construction in the education sector.

Huge congratulations to our talented teams and our partners at New College Oxford for bringing this project to life.
