SUSTAINABILITY

Preservation is about more than just keeping something for you to enjoy. It’s about ensuring that not only will it stand the test of time, but the impact of creating it in the first place is minimal. We take our effects on the environment very seriously, and that’s why sustainability is at the heart of all we do, from initial concept design through to construction and then on-going maintenance.

Material selection is vital, not only that items are sourced responsibly, but that consideration is given to how they are manufactured, where they are coming from, how they are being transported, the impacts of installing them, how long they last and what happens to them at the end of their life? As part of our project management process we implement a full Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) ensuring as little waste as possible is generated.

Designing, building and managing your office in a sustainable way will bring you more than just social benefits. Reducing running costs, tax relief and positive messages to staff and the wider public can all be achieved by careful planning and consideration.

Depending on your business, project and premises, we can advise on the suitability of all the international accreditations in office sustainability such as BREEAM, LEED and Ska, and have qualified assessors to ensure our design achieves the desired rating.
