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.
Estimating, programming, procurement, subcontractor management, site logistics, and getting things finished properly under a deadline that doesn't move: that is the grounding Banana Works is built on. It is the same skill set applied to the faster, more photographed world of brand activations and temporary environments.
A joint still has to close cleanly whether it is holding up a staircase or an activation. 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 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, FounderThe best brand experiences look effortless to the person walking through them, even when they were genuinely difficult to build. That gap, between the design everyone approved and the physical thing someone has to build, rig, finish and remove without trace, is where Banana Works operates. We are the people who close that gap on site.
Live production is stressful enough without theatre. We flag problems early, stay calm, and solve them rather than announce them.
A rough edge, a misaligned graphic, or a visible cable can undo everything else about a build. Finish is not a nice-to-have; it is the thing you are actually paying for.
White-label work, NDAs, discretion. Not an inconvenience, just how we operate by default, every time, without being asked.
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.
Whether it is a fully worked brief or a rough idea that needs a feasibility conversation, this is where that starts. Single installs and de-rigs are fine.
