Feasibility Studies
Our feasibility studies assess site potential through sketch layouts and schedules, providing clients with data-driven insights to evaluate project viability before land acquisition or major investments. We analyse planning constraints, residential mix options, and regulatory requirements while offering visualisations to communicate scheme character. This early-stage analysis helps clients make informed decisions about development opportunities in complex urban environments.
Detailed Design
We produce comprehensive working drawings and technical specifications for residential and mixed-use developments, managing planning applications and regulatory processes. Our team coordinates multidisciplinary design information, administers contracts, and prepares construction programmes while providing specialist advice on party wall matters and BREEAM assessments. This service ensures projects meet building regulations and client expectations for quality and functionality.
Urban Regeneration
Specialising in complex urban regeneration schemes, we create mixed-use developments that address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Our approach combines innovative design with practical construction solutions to transform underutilised sites into vibrant communities. We work with public and private sector partners to deliver sustainable regeneration projects that enhance urban landscapes while meeting housing and commercial space demands.
