Our preferred way of working is in integrated teams, which gives the greatest opportunity to design solutions that work best for all the contributing design disciplines – and ultimately best for our client and theirs too. Our services span the whole project lifecycle, from inception to completion, and with a view to commissioning, integration and operation.

No two projects are the same, so at the start we check the project objectives and parameters, then carefully tailor our solution.

But there are three guiding principles for every project: appropriate – client, culture, context and cost aware; effective – fully meeting clients’ and users’ needs; efficient – using resources and energy sparingly, to minimise environmental impact and energy use.

We are to adopt building information modelling (BIM) and have remained at the forefront of the industry, helping our clients and partners implement and work in common data environments to streamline design and delivery. Digital models can be handed to clients as platforms for asset operation and through-life care. We are pioneering the development of digital solutions including parametric modelling, digital twins, augmented delivery and smart infrastructure.
