Two disciplines that only work when they sit in the same room.
Exterior decides how a building is read. Civil decides whether it stands and what it costs to stand there. Split those across two firms and each one optimises against the other.
We keep them together, which is why the elevation that gets drawn is the elevation that gets priced — and why nobody has to be told late that it cannot be built.
Elevations, facades and the envelope that meets weather. We design the outward face of a building and detail it to hold its line for decades — material, joint, shadow and drainage resolved together rather than in sequence.
Structure, ground and infrastructure. Survey through execution on bridges, grade separations, retaining works and site development — with the drawings, sequencing and on-site oversight that keep a build to programme.
The outward face of the building and everything that keeps weather out of it. We resolve material, joint, shadow and drainage as one problem rather than in sequence, because the failures always happen where those four meet.
We walk the site, measure what is actually there, and test the brief against ground conditions before a line is drawn.
Massing, elevation and structure develop together. You see the same drawings we do — nothing is resolved off-screen.
Construction drawings, schedules and specifications detailed to the level a contractor can price without guessing.
Site oversight through to handover. We are on the ground while it is built, not reviewing photographs afterwards.
A short, bounded engagement to test whether a site or a scheme works at all.
Pre-purchase, feasibility, second opinions
Full design through to a construction-ready drawing set another party can price and build.
Projects with a contractor already appointed
Design plus on-site oversight through to handover — the way we prefer to work.
Clients who want one accountable party
Most people aren't at the start. Describe the site and the problem, and we will tell you which engagement actually fits — including if the answer is none of them yet.
