We coordinate design across consultants and disciplines to maintain a consistent and deliverable proposal. Our work supports clients delivering complex projects in healthcare, education, commercial and local authority sectors.

Every project accumulates inputs: planning consultants, engineers, specialists, statutory consultees. Coordination is the work of keeping all of them aligned inside one coherent design. We manage that alignment through design stages, integrating external requirements without letting the proposal fragment into a compromise of compromises.
The design team explores options and massing, sets a sustainability approach, and prepares an order-of-cost estimate. Early conversations with planners may begin. By the end of this stage there's a preferred concept that meets the brief and budget.
Design moves from ideas to a coordinated layout. Architecture, structure and building services are aligned so rooms, risers, fire strategy and servicing all work together. The result is a frozen arrangement with updated cost and risks understood.
Look at the whole processClients feel the benefit as consistency: one design story across every drawing and report, fewer contradictions for planners and building control to query and a scheme that survives scrutiny because its parts agree with each other.
We coordinate with planning consultants, engineers and specialists to keep design aligned across the team.
External inputs are integrated into the design without compromising intent or coherence.
Design is aligned with planning, technical and regulatory requirements through ongoing refinement and review.
More parties than most clients expect: planning and heritage consultants, structural and services engineers, landscape designers, specialist assessors for ecology, transport, acoustics or flood risk and the statutory consultees who comment on all of it. Each has their own priorities; coordination keeps their inputs serving one design.

Set within beautiful, manicured grounds, the crematorium and cemetery provide a peaceful setting for remembrance and quiet contemplation. Planning consent was secured, with technical design progressed to Tender.
View projectManaging information exchange between consultants, reviewing inputs against the design, resolving conflicts and keeping a single current version of the truth that everyone works to.
Project management runs the programme, budget and contracts; design coordination keeps the design itself coherent. The two work together, and we align with whoever holds the project management role.
Planning consultants, structural and services engineers, fire, acoustics, transport, ecology, landscape and heritage specialists, depending on what the project requires.
Contradictory information in the planning submission, redesign at technical stage and abortive consultant fees. Most late-project pain traces back to inputs that were never reconciled.
Through disciplined issue protocols: numbered revisions, agreed exchange points and a clear record of what changed. Consultants always know which version is live.
Yes, into technical design and construction, where the intensity increases. The earlier the habits are established, the smoother those stages run.
