Design review
A key sector of our business is the provision of short, focused consultancy advice by way of design review and enabling. This work is undertaken for public design bodies such as CABE in the UK and also for private clients – including architects and developers - who request a second opinion from us on their development proposals.
We enjoy working with other planners, designers and built environment professionals to support them, for example, in the preparation of masterplan designs. Our involvement in projects is often because there is a dispute, or potential dispute between parties over the merits of particular proposals. The evidence-based techniques we use are valuable in such instances, providing an objective input into what can otherwise be a subjective debate.
