Frequently asked questions

What is the base price for hiring The Building Centre Conference spaces for a full-day conference?

The Day Delegate Rate (DDR) is £55.00 per person excluding VAT. For a typical conference for 120 delegates, this results in a base price of £6,600.00 exclusive of VAT. For larger conferences with up to 250 attendees, the total would scale accordingly based on attendee numbers.

What is included in the conference Day Delegate Rate (DDR) at The Building Centre?

The DDR includes exclusive use of the Seminar Suite, adjacent catering space, AV package (projector, laptop, lectern, stage clicker, and three microphones), breakfast baps, all-day hydration station, bagels, pastries, sweet treats, salad boxes, yoghurt pots, unlimited tea, coffee, soft drinks, recording/streaming, and the services of a technician/presentation assistant. No additional base hire or AV costs apply for DDR bookings.

Are there any minimum spend or guest numbers for conference bookings?

Yes. The minimum number for conference bookings is typically 120 delegates for DDR packages. For larger events such as multi-day conferences, minimum numbers may start at 220 DDRs per day (e.g., £12,100.00 per day for 220 attendees). Exact minimums may vary for other event types and should be checked based on your event requirements.

What are the timing restrictions for conferences in the Conference spaces?

Conference bookings normally run from 09:00 to 17:00, with access to the space from 07:30 for set-up. Half-day and shorter events have been quoted between 08:30 and 13:00 or 13:00 and 17:00, but standard full day timings are 09:00–17:00. Evening or weekend use for conferences, such as Christmas parties or receptions, is typically permitted from 19:00 up to midnight.

Are there any mandatory add-on costs, such as cleaning, cloakroom, or security fees?

Based on available quotes, there are no mandatory extra charges for cleaning, cloakroom, staffing, or security for standard conference DDR packages. For parties with a staffed cloakroom (e.g., Christmas events), costs for cloakroom attendants are included within the package. No hidden facility or support fees are listed for DDR conference bookings.

What are the capacity limits in the Conferences space?

Capacity for conferences ranges from 120 (cabaret/theatre/boardroom setup) up to 250 people for larger plenary events. Networking events, workshops, and fairs in conference spaces have been quoted for 70–90 attendees. The space configuration and maximum figures depend on the chosen layout and any breakout or catering requirements.

Is external catering allowed, or must clients use in-house caterers?

External catering is permitted for dry hire events; the dry hire rate for such use is £8,000.00 for an evening event of up to 85 guests. However, day delegate conference packages include in-house catering by default and do not mention external catering as an option on DDRs. All food at charity/non-profit conferences can be 100% vegan if required; bringing your own caterer for this purpose may be possible but is subject to approval and potentially an additional fee (not specified in the data provided).

What is the booking and payment process for Conference spaces?

You will receive a detailed quote based on your attendee numbers and requirements. To confirm the booking, you will need to agree to the quote and sign the booking form. Payment timelines and deposit requirements are not specified in the information provided; cancellation and rebooking terms are also not detailed.

What are the restrictions regarding setup, deliveries, and access?

Standard access to the Conferences space begins at 07:30 on event days for setup. Pack-down is expected to complete by the end of your hire period—typically 17:00 for daytime conferences. For large-scale events (e.g., Christmas parties or exhibitions), deliveries may be arranged the previous day and collections on the next working day by prior agreement.

Are there limitations on layouts, furniture, or AV in Conference spaces?

Conference spaces support cabaret, theatre, boardroom, and auditorium setups. AV provided as standard includes projector, large display or video wall (4K), PA system, microphones (lectern, table, roaming), recording/streaming support, and technician assistance. Requests for complex hybrid filming teams or special setups may require prior approval.

Does The Building Centre Conference space have any access restrictions or accessibility limitations?

Conference spaces at The Building Centre provide step-free access from street level and accessible restrooms. The venue is centrally located within a 10-minute walk of major Tube and rail stations. Full DDA compliance is supported for conferences.

Are there any restrictions on event activities (e.g., alcohol service, music, décor)?

Alcohol service is allowed for conferences and parties within agreed timings; evening events routinely include drinks packages (e.g., £12.00 per person for a one-hour unlimited drinks add-on). Music and DJ entertainment are permitted for parties. Any requests for major décor changes or unusual activities should be discussed in advance to ensure approval.
