Good design is subtle, as well as client and site−specific, and developing good design as part of a team takes skill, and involves a process that is not easily measured using tools such as BREEAM, Energy Performance Certificates or sustainability checklists.

To ensure we have the right skills to deliver good design and facilitate innovation, all our engineers are trained in every aspect of building environmental design and we do not divide ourselves into separate disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical, lighting, sustainability and public health. In addition, our engineers produce their own drawings, do their own energy modelling and are trained to work in a 3D BIM environment. We believe this approach is unique within the industry and the benefits are that engineers attending meetings are highly skilled and able to cover all aspects of the design, on fewer projects. This approach enables us to provide a more transparent, integrated, informed and well−rounded service.
