/ Clients
When working with clients, we can engage on the Builder or client-side, but either way – we’re always looking for a win-win.
Passionate about meaningful ideas and pragmatic about the realities of building, we explore opportunities and find solutions to evolving constraints while maintaining design intent.
We bring technical knowledge, problem solving and architectural documentation support to builders in Design & Construct projects, and can facilitate the engagement of other building services consultants and third party approvals.
When working client-side, we can partner up for the life of the project. In addition to design, documentation and approval processes, we uphold our clients vision during the tendering, value management and construction stages.
We continue to have great relationships with all stakeholders long after a project has been completed, and most of our work is with people we’ve partnered with before. This is testament to the open, honest and authentic way we approach our projects and the people behind them.
