CONSTRUCTIVE

What the service covers

Analysis of technical and financial indicators

We calculate how planning decisions move the cost per square metre and the return on the building.

Optimising areas and layouts

We raise the share of usable area and shrink plant rooms and circulation.

Choosing the structural system

We match the scheme to this building’s geometry instead of reaching for the familiar standard model.

Services and automation

Building management systems are designed in, not added afterwards.

Energy performance

We work the envelope and the services to bring running costs down.

How it runs

  1. Defining the task

    We establish which number actually governs: budget, programme, storey count or return.

  2. Analysis of constraints

    We work through the site, the codes and the starting conditions that narrow the field.

  3. Developing options

    We prepare several concepts, each with its numbers worked out.

  4. Selection and detailing

    The agreed option is taken to the level of design decisions.

  5. Handover

    The solution moves into the design stage or into the existing set of documents.

Why it pays

Designed for this building

We don’t carry a standard scheme over from the last project – we calculate for this geometry and these conditions.

Economics, not aesthetics for their own sake

Every decision is judged by what it does to the cost of building and of running the result.

Early involvement

The concept stage is where the budget is really decided – which is where we work.

Tell us about your building – we’ll run the numbers and propose a solution.
