The practice is located at the heart of the country in Leicester which is ideally located to serve its client base

Our philosophy is to produce high quality designs and to complete projects to meet the client’s budget

The success of a project relies on understanding, appraisal and communications.
This is achieved by
■ Establishing a relationship between the client and our design team is important to us in order to establish
an understanding of his needs.
■ Interpreting the client’s requirements which are reviewed at all stages of the project’s development.
■ The placing of a high priority on communications with the client and all members of the design team.
This ability to facilitate rapid response times which capitalise on the use of e-communications with all
involved in the project.

4. Food Processing & Associated Projects
We have completed numerous contracts for various national food manufacturing and food processing
companies who have retained our services for subsequent projects and advice. Food industry projects are the
core specialism of our practice and we are proud of the reputation we have built up over the years.
We are involved in all aspects of the design process from site acquisitions and feasibilities to handing over
completed buildings ready for production.
Our completed projects have covered a number of facilities within the industry including
■ bottling plants ■ delicatessen products
■ ready meals ■ sea food preparation and processing
■ soups and sauces ■ fruit and vegetables
■ ready to cook ■ salad products
■ mayonnaise production plant ■ bakeries
We have built our reputation on the foundation of being able to respond to a client’s
requirements ensuring they are realised by completing on time and to budget.
We have a proven track record of being able to respond to
■ client production deadlines
■ programming and coordination of complex installations
and their supporting services
■ liaison with the client and construction teams for normal
and out of hours construction
We understand the integration of the food environment is paramount to a successful
project and that there are many elements to take into consideration.
As part of the services we can offer we are able to carry out construction fabric audits
as part of validation reports and have an extensive knowledge of the food industries’
specific hygiene environments and associated plant requirements.

6. Industrial and Civil Projects
Design Stratergies
We use the same design philosophy for industrial and civil projects as
that for food factories. This care and attention can be seen in our
integrated solutions to complex problems.
We are involved with site investigation and feasibility
stages for industrial buildings and light industrial starter
units for private development and speculation. Our
experience in estate development, infrastructure and
circulation enables sites to be identified or discounted
quickly at minimal cost to the client.
Intergrated Sprinkler Systems
The increased involvement by insurance companies in the
specification and construction of building materials has led
to an increased involvement with the integration of sprinkler
system installations into the fabric of exisiting buildings.
The need to satisfy the requirements of IPPC regulations has led to an increase
in the development of civil projects to combat excessive effluent discharges. Our strategic design
of interception tanks, settling tanks & DAF units on industrial and food sites has been ancillary to our
primary role.

8. Commercial Projects
Historic Basis
We are well versed in many aspects of commercial sector design.
We have a historic basis of designing shop interiors and new build structures
for large multiple food outlets and chemist outlets.
This knowledge has been useful in our designs of more modest
shop units recently completed.
The use of computer aided design in the production of
office layouts has increased the ability to offer a range of
layouts to help clients understand the possible
alternatives available. We have used this technique to
great success when carrying out office re-organisations,
group headquarters and rationalisation projects.
Philosophy
As part of the design process we use presentation
colour boards and visualizations to assist the client in
having a clear understanding of proposed interior & exterior
finished solutions.
We use our experience and programming to maintain the clients ability
to operate during refurbishment and construction projects with the minimum
of disruption.
The recent completion of car showrooms has proved our philosophy is very effective and future projects
are underway based on the same principles.

10. Ancillary Roles
C D M Coordinator
We are registered members of the Association of Project Safety C D M Coordinators and perform their
duties on 98% of our projects.
Regulatory Reform Order
Our expertise of fire regulations & passive fire measures has resulted in a reputation of being able to
resolve issues that has avoided litigation and closure. Our commissions include fire risk assessments and
the replacement of the old style Fire Certificates with Fire Safety Manuals as prescribed by RRO 2005
and BS9999,2008.
Contract Administration
We are commissioned to give advice & report on constructional and contractual issues
that are a prelude to litigation or in most cases will enable an amicable resolution
of circumstances.
Clients that are involved in certain installations will instruct the works to be
commenced but will commission the practice to act as contract administrator for the
duration of the works.
Project Management
Where the project dictates a main contractor is not practical or economic we have the
experience to take on the role of management contractor. This enables a direct contact with
the trade contractors which we consider is an advantage to achieving the client’s needs.
Practice Development
CPD seminars & construction courses keep our design team abreast of changes to
regulations, contracts, current legislation and standards.
We are members of the British Standards Institute which enables early notification
of new standards & codes of practice.
In order to maintain our high standards of documentation we subscribe annually to utilise
■ NBS Contract administration
■ NBS Building full version
■ NBS Scheduler
We maintain a full technical & trade literature library which is constantly updated.

12. Residential Developments
Understanding Clients’ Needs
The need for understanding of a client’s needs and requirements is no more important than in the design
of houses, residential extensions, flats and student accommodation.
We discuss with the individual residential client his needs and formulate a design brief to aid understanding
of the objectives of the project. Our designs reflect the brief and illustrate possible alternatives that may not
have been considered when first considering the project.
Commercial Potential
With the increase in the availability of brown field sites and backland development our expertise in assessing
potential solutions allows clients the ability to respond quickly to financial deadlines.
We keep abreast of the recent changes in standard required to meet current legislation for renewable energy,
thermal and sound insulation which are incorporated into the design of the developments from an early
design stage.
Our designs reflect our consideration of the surrounding environment harmonising with neighbouring
structures and environment.
Affordable Housing
The practice has experience in designing to housing
corporation guidelines having completed a number
of projects for the UK’s leading housing
associations.
