Projects
The consultancy has a strong portfolio of heritage and conservation projects, alongside a range of public and private sector work.
Projects can include historic and listed buildings, government schemes and other high-profile developments, providing the opportunity to work on projects that are more varied and technically interesting than a typical consultancy portfolio.

Experience working with clients, architects, contractors and wider design teams
