Through our in-house Structural Engineer and design team, we take
a methodical and continuous approach to the identification and
evaluation of project objectives.
Value Engineering
All proposals are subject to systematic reviews at every stage of the
design process. This continuous analysis ensures that the final design
encourages creative thinking, determines best solutions at all times,
meets and exceeds the client requirements and ultimately delivers
best value for money on all projects.
Through this process, we help deliver the best solution for our clients
without ever compromising on the architects’ creative vision.
Construction Design Management
Our Construction Design Management team handles all the
professional design, technical manufacturing and installations
services that cover the requirements of a detailed and complex
project, while adhering to stringent regulations and guidelines.
From preconception planning, specification and design development
through product design, structure and state of the art precision
manufacturing and installation, CMS works closely with project design
teams to offer complete structural reports and detailed drawings for
SER certification. A closely controlled practice helps us to deliver a
high quality service on every project regardless of size.

Our unparalleled
technical expertise
extends to BIM across
all design-led projects.
We ensure building projects benefit from consistent
BIM expertise throughout the numerous work stages –
negating the risk of unforeseen contract challenges.
By being BIM-ready, we now provide the vital link
between designer and product manufacturer by
talking the same language and, more importantly,
using our experience gained from numerous other
building envelope projects to advise on where further
design and process efficiencies can be achieved.
