Building Safety & Compliance
To meet Building Regulations and the requirements of the Building Safety Act (BSA), clients must sign a declaration confirming they have rigorously assessed and appointed only demonstrably competent parties, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities, to deliver their high-risk projects.
Our Key Differentiator
We operate exclusively under pure, non-prescriptive ‘Design & Build’ contracts, ensuring we are ‘the Contractor’—the single stakeholder accountable for all project outcomes, including:
- Survey & design
- Material selection & installation
- Warranty & BSA compliance across all gateways
This approach eliminates ambiguity, reducing the risk of project failure, and ensures we remain extra vigilant at every stage.
Client Process
With our approach, clients need only:
- Define high-level requirements
- Invite detailed tender proposals
- Review references & appoint
- Monitor, inspect, and engage throughout delivery
Sustainable Regeneration with Proven Results
Sustainable regeneration delivers net-zero carbon while meeting the social, environmental, and economic needs of future generations, as demonstrated by projects like Prospecthill Court and Castle Court, Sheffield.
Why Past Performance Matters
In construction, past performance is the only true indicator of future success. We invite you to review our proven track record—because when it comes to high-risk projects, experience and accountability are everything.
