The ethical responsibility of sustainability rests with the entire design team. Considering the whole-life cost of a project from the outset ensures that decisions are both environmentally responsible and economically sound.

​

Sustainable design is a philosophy we are passionate about, seeking to maximise the quality of the built environment whilst minimising or eliminating its impact on the natural environment. We explore alternative construction methods that use more sustainable materials and consider the whole life cost of a building, through design, construction, operation, maintenance and in time, potential demolition/reuse.

​

From a structural engineering perspective, our approach is often dictated by structural form and function. Delivering sustainably means remaining curious as to different approaches and delivering benefit from a cost, programme and sustainability point of view.

​

Our Civil Engineers deliver SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) as standard, and our methodology against a developing backdrop of rules, regulations and techniques means we constantly seek opportunities to learn and improve our sustainable practices.

​

We demonstrate our sustainability credentials working across a range of projects, including Passivhaus and modular developments, waste recovery projects, flood risk and SuDS designs. Our aim is to meet project requirements while enhancing long-term performance and environmental responsibility.

​

Our team actively pursues ongoing professional development, staying up-to-date with legislation, new construction techniques, and sustainable approaches. This ensures we remain enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and committed to delivering sustainable solutions as standard.
