This section includes an overview of the issues that may affect your site and details of when you should contact us in the development process.
Whether your development is large or small, you will need to consider the impact it will have on the environment, during construction and in the future.
Rather than constraining your work, the environment can be a big opportunity.
High environmental standards can bring value to your development and boost your green credentials. You can also add value to your development by creating green space for the local community.
Impacts of climate change
Climate change is set to have various impacts on the building environment. These include:
- increased flood risk
- subsidence
- storm damage, and
- higher day-time/night-time temperatures
We need to act now to reduce the impact of these risks.
This work doesn't have to cost the earth. The case studies included in this section illustrate how planning ahead and using more innovative techniques and designs have saved developers money.
This all leads to getting the most out of your development and creating a better place for the communities that will live and work there.
