Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design service creates contextually responsive buildings that balance client aspirations with practical construction requirements. Using BIM software, we develop detailed 3D models for both new builds and listed building adaptations. The process includes feasibility studies, planning applications, and construction documentation while maintaining focus on sustainability and future adaptability.
Project Management
We provide comprehensive project management covering all stages from inception to handover. Our team coordinates multidisciplinary consultants, manages tender processes, and oversees construction to ensure quality, budget, and timeline compliance. This includes CDM regulations adherence and post-completion support for commercial, residential, and community developments.
Building Surveying
Our building surveying service offers detailed condition assessments for commercial and residential properties. This includes measured surveys, dilapidations evaluations, and conservation advice for listed buildings. We provide expert guidance on maintenance strategies, defect analysis, and statutory compliance requirements for both freehold and leasehold properties.
Sustainability Consultancy
We deliver energy efficiency solutions that reduce operational costs while maintaining occupant comfort. Our expertise includes Passive House standards, daylight optimisation, and sustainable material selection. We advise on environmental impact assessments and help achieve up to 90% energy savings through strategic building envelope design and systems integration.
Conservation Projects
Specialising in Grade II and II* listed properties, our conservation service combines historical sensitivity with modern functionality. We manage planning consents, conduct condition surveys, and implement sympathetic restoration techniques.
