ABOUT

A trade, before it was a business.

Banana Works is led by Daniel Warren, a time-served carpenter who spent years across a wide range of builds and renovations before moving into running complex construction projects end to end.

BACKGROUND

The same discipline, aimed differently.

Estimating, programming, procurement, subcontractor management, site logistics, and getting things finished properly under a deadline that doesn't move, that's the grounding Banana Works is built on. It's not a different skill set to activation build, dressed up differently. It's the same one, aimed at a faster, more design-sensitive target.

A joint still has to close cleanly whether it's holding up a staircase or a stand. A programme still has to hold whether the site is a housing development or an exhibition hall. The discipline transfers. What changes is the pace, and the fact that the finished thing now has to survive being photographed up close.

"I've spent my career making sure things are actually right, not just signed off as right. That doesn't change because the industry does."

Daniel Warren, Founder
THE INDUSTRY WE WORK IN

Fast-moving, deadline-driven, and unforgiving of a finish that doesn't hold up close.

WHY BANANA WORKS EXISTS

The gap between render and real.

The best brand experiences look effortless to the person walking through them, even when they were genuinely difficult to build. That gap, between the render everyone approved in a meeting and the physical thing someone has to build, wire, finish and remove without trace, is where Banana Works operates. We're the people who close that gap.

HOW WE WORK

Four rules, no exceptions.

NO DRAMA

Live production is stressful enough without theatre. We flag problems early, stay calm, and solve them rather than announce them.

DETAIL IS THE PRODUCT

A rough edge, a misaligned graphic, or a visible cable can undo everything else about a build. Finish isn't a nice-to-have, it's the thing you're actually paying for.

PROTECT THE AGENCY

White-label work, NDAs, discretion. Not an inconvenience, just how we operate by default, every time, without being asked.

SAY IT EARLY

If cost, access, safety or programme is a problem, you hear about it before it becomes a crisis, not during load-in with a client stood next to you.

GET IN TOUCH

Tell us what you're building.

Whether it's a fully worked brief or a rough idea that needs a feasibility conversation before it goes any further, this is where that starts.
