For developers · Residential, mixed-use & industrial
Architecture, structural engineering, planning and construction in one group. We find the scheme a site can really support, take it through consent, and hand you a design that gets built as drawn.
Applications by the group's design practices, Oct 2017 to Oct 2026, from council planning registers. 243 of the 270 sites taken to a decision were approved, including on resubmission or appeal.
The value in a development is decided by what you see in a site before anyone else does. These are schemes we have drawn from unpromising starting points.

Studios to three-bedroom flats, every one meeting the National Space Standards with its own outdoor space. Angled oriel windows and projecting sills turn views away from neighbours, so the scheme reaches its density without the overlooking that so often costs a consent.

Schemes shown range from proposals to projects under way. Figures are taken from each scheme's design.
Capacity is tested against policy, neighbours' daylight and local precedent before you bid, so the land price rests on a scheme that can be consented.
Pre-application strategy and every supporting report are scoped at the start and submitted as one application. Conditions and appeals stay in the group.
Structure, drainage and fire strategy are designed in from concept by our sister engineering practice, so the consented scheme is the buildable one.
For higher-risk residential buildings, design information is prepared with the Building Safety Regulator's Gateway 2 in mind from the outset.
Fixed fees for each stage, and on suitable schemes a risk-share arrangement that ties part of the fee to planning success.
Fees
Professional fees are a line in your appraisal, and they should behave like one: known in advance, and weighted towards success.
Each stage, from appraisal to technical design, is priced before it starts. No hourly billing, and no surprises between stages.
On suitable schemes, part of our planning-stage fee is reduced or deferred until permission is granted, so more of the planning risk sits with us.
Free site appraisal
A first view within 48 hours, from a director, at no cost.
An address, a title number or a red line, and anything you already know: the asking price, your target mix, the exit.
A director reviews planning history, policy, context and the constraints that matter, with engineering and planning colleagues where needed.
Indicative capacity, the likely planning route, the main risks and what we would do next. Free, and without obligation.

One programme and one design lead, with engineering and planning evidence drawn in at the stage each is needed. Several of our developer clients have returned to us for site after site.
Planning history, constraints, structural condition, ground and drainage are reviewed together, so a purchase or a brief rests on a complete picture.
The concept is developed with the engineer at the table and the planning case in mind, so ambition is tested early rather than diluted later.
Drawings and every supporting report are scoped at the outset and submitted as one coordinated application, with conditions and, where necessary, appeals handled within the group.
Architecture, structure, drainage and specification are resolved as a single set of information, ready for building control and for contractors to price with confidence.
Built by the group's own construction arm, or by a contractor you appoint, with party wall matters, temporary works and site inspections managed by people who know the design intimately, protecting the quality agreed at planning.
Condition surveys, future phases and further assets benefit from a team that already knows the building and the client.
From appraisal to completion, architecture, structural and civil engineering, the full range of planning evidence and construction sit within one group. Fewer appointments, fewer interfaces and a single programme mean less risk of delay and fewer surprises between planning and site.
The design of the building and its interiors, from first brief and concept through planning, technical design and the construction stage. The design lead is your single point of contact across the group.
Engineering that shapes the design rather than following it, with every package signed off by a chartered engineer. The practice also covers surveys, ground and drainage, party wall matters and the construction stage.
The planning case and the technical evidence behind it: heritage and townscape, daylight, energy and sustainability, ecology, transport, ground and water, and viability, scoped and prepared alongside the design.
The construction arm of the group. The building the team has designed, engineered and taken through planning is built by people who already know it, with the site, the programme and the cost managed within the same group.
