Services
Building Surveying
Our building surveyors provide comprehensive property assessments and technical advice. With over 30 years' experience, we offer defect analysis, contract administration, and compliance services for residential and commercial properties. Our team delivers solutions for repairs, refurbishments, and new builds while ensuring adherence to planning regulations and health and safety standards.
Passivhaus Design
As certified Passivhaus designers, we create energy-efficient buildings using PHPP modelling. Our approach combines fabric-first principles with mechanical ventilation systems to achieve ultra-low energy consumption. We guide clients through the entire process, from initial design to certification, ensuring buildings meet rigorous environmental performance standards while maintaining comfort and functionality.
Cladding Remediation
We specialise in cladding remediation projects to address fire safety concerns. Our services include combustible material replacement, facade upgrades, and regulatory compliance. With extensive experience in London's high-rise buildings, we deliver safe, durable solutions while minimising disruption to residents and maintaining project timelines.
Feasibility Studies
Our feasibility studies assess technical, financial, and operational viability before planning applications. We evaluate site potential, regulatory constraints, and cost implications to help clients make informed decisions. This service reduces risks and ensures projects align with budgetary and functional requirements while maximising development opportunities.
Architectural Visualisation
We create photorealistic visualisations and accurate verified views (AVRs) for planning applications and marketing. Using surveyed data and advanced CGI techniques, our visualisations help stakeholders understand proposed developments. This service supports planning approvals and enhances client communication through clear, detailed representations of architectural concepts.
