New Build Civic Design
Complete architectural services for new government buildings, from council offices to justice facilities. We manage the full RIBA work stages, delivering designs that meet operational requirements whilst creating inspiring public spaces. Our approach integrates sustainability targets, accessibility standards, and long-term adaptability from day one.
Heritage Restoration
Sensitive conservation and adaptation of listed public buildings. We work alongside Historic England and local conservation officers to preserve architectural significance whilst enabling contemporary use. Services include condition surveys, conservation management plans, and phased restoration programmes compatible with continued building operation.
Feasibility Studies
Strategic analysis for capital investment decisions. Our feasibility work examines site constraints, planning considerations, cost parameters, and delivery options to inform business cases. We provide clear recommendations with supporting technical evidence suitable for committee papers and Treasury submissions.
Planning Consultation
Expert navigation of the planning process for public sector developments. We prepare and manage applications, engage with local planning authorities, and represent clients at committee hearings. Our track record includes successful permissions for sensitive heritage settings and complex urban sites.
Sustainability Advisory
Strategic guidance on achieving net-zero public buildings. We develop carbon reduction strategies, specify low-impact materials, and integrate renewable technologies appropriate to building type and budget. Our advisory service supports compliance with government sustainability mandates and BREEAM certification targets.
Construction Oversight
Contract administration and site inspection services throughout the build phase. We monitor construction quality, manage variations, and certify payments on behalf of public sector clients. Our oversight ensures completed buildings match design intent and meet procurement specifications.
