We consider this to be a unique service that is offered by no other consultant in the UK and one that can give our clients real cost and practical benefits that will pay dividends throughout the construction phase and more importantly during the project’s ‘working life’
- National coverage through our network of nine UK offices ensures a consistent and uniform delivery of excellence.
Sustainability
Sustainability requirements for public buildings are becoming increasingly stringent, with pressure to minimise carbon emissions. Through our in-depth understanding of the most up to date Building Regulations we are at the forefront of this exciting trend, helping to set the benchmark for sustainable design through careful consultation with clients and stakeholders.
“In the current competitive climate relationships and strong communications are key to success. Our client links are strong and we believe this comes from our desire to continuously improve our service delivery, whilst seeking to understand and embrace our client’s needs. This sits alongside a refusal to embrace complacency.”
Steve Highwood, Director, HCD Group
