Our Approach
Our services cover the RIBA Plan of Work 2020, including the project strategy focused on sustainability. We follow a logical process from developing an initial business case through to construction and post-occupancy evaluation.
Services
Architecture
Our experienced team of architects and designers deliver projects built around your needs, covering commercial, industrial, leisure, healthcare, education, and residential sectors for both new and existing buildings.
Our vision is to create buildings and spaces that meet your business requirements, with a design that respects the environment and creates excitement for the user.
Although the RIBA Plan of Work prescribes a complete project delivery and beyond, our services can be fully tailored to suit your requirements. We work with all delivery solutions from traditional procurement through to full Design & Build services.
Delivering beyond expectation
Compliance
Our technical team help you navigate the warrant process, handling any consents and requirements. Thanks to our experience working with planning and building control departments, we know the information they look for and can ease the approval process. We also advise and manage operational issues ranging from statutory planning and building warrants to condition surveys and ensuring accessibility standards are met.
Sustainability
Sustainable practices are a fundamental component of all our projects. We focus on reducing waste and travel and making the most of our resources, reusing what we can when we can. Our internal sustainability group is comprised of representatives from all parts of the business and is responsible for maintaining our approach to sustainability, driving our passion to create better environments and protect our surroundings.
Our added value
Having a multidisciplinary team of space planners, interior designers, and workplace and change consultants allows our architects to utilise in-house expertise to create a more holistic appraisal of every project. With our own surveyors and construction experts, we’re able to appraise likely build costs at an early stage, ensuring all project development is in line with the project budget.
More about our Architecture Services
Building Information Modelling
BIM is a digital tool that brings all aspects of a construction project into one place. Our BIM services deliver the best possible procurement, delivery, and management solutions to our clients.
We use Revit, the leading industry tool for BIM, to generate a digital project model where some or all designs are contained in a central file and can be worked on by multiple users at the same time. This means aspects like document control, design visualisations, value engineering, and construction sequencing are kept in a common environment, reducing risk and improving project efficiency.
Masterplanning
Masterplanning is a detailed overview of how your development site will look, feel, and function, giving you a bird’s eye view of your new or redesigned space.
Developed with input from the architect or designer, a masterplan provides necessary information to understand a site’s aims, considerations, and objectives. We then use this information in discussions with planning authorities and local councils, and in presentations to the general public for their consideration and feedback.
Masterplans vary in length and content depending on the type and scale of the development, but they all serve a common purpose: to provide clarity, understanding, and confidence in a site development.
