Sustainable Master Planning
Our sustainability statements demonstrate the environmental credentials of a proposed development.
Working with you, we will help identify the most cost effective opportunities to meet the targets of Local Authorities and Clients.
In addition, we will undertake a detailed review of the energy strategy for the building, to establish a holistic, sustainable approach to the design of sustainable buildings for the future.
From the design brief, our BREEAM Accredited Professionals (AP) and Building Services Engineers can assist in implementing the design proposals.
Cost Effective Sustainable Development
The benefits of an effective sustainability strategy include:
- Enhanced chance of successful planning application
- Improved profile and marketability of a development
- Safer and healthier living and working environments
- Reduction of construction waste
- Reduction of building’s operating costs
We provide concise tracking of all BREEAM, WELL and HQM assessments, allowing the project team to stay up to date with the assessment progress.
