Our Director, John Smith, is speaking at #buildeng Southern in Guildford. The event will bring some of the best #building, #engineering and #architectural brains in the South together to discuss current issues facing the industry and possible solutions. https://t.co/5pviyM0cY1

Is the new Building Safety Act affecting the progress of your developments? Our new blog post discusses the potential consequences of both this as well as the latest Building Regs. Don't get caught out and talk to us if you need further help. https://t.co/bJFaWpmkFl

It's English #wine week soon so here are 2 producers that we helped to redesign their buildings to improve the spaces for both work and visiting.
The two #vineyards are well worth a visit #architecture #M&E #design #sustainability

We've been very busy recently as prospective developments are being sent to us from new clients along the #SouthCoast. From 25 units in #Brighton to 21 units in #Worthing. As well as #RefurbishmentDetailing for some existing student halls. Keep 'em coming, is what we say!

One of the projects we're currently working on involves us filtering through over 5,000 documents to locate the most current data, set of plans, elevations and sections. We can't show you the data itself, but here's a blurry screenshot of one of the spreadsheets! #ExcelGeek

Roman, our Chartered #ArchitecturalTechnologist has been compiling the windows & doors schedules for the Debenham's building.

The size, opening function & performance requirement of the 400 elements needs to be accounted for. As does the acoustic, thermal & safety performance.

We're excited to be involved in the conversion of an old bank building into treatment rooms and yoga studio in #Hove. Our #Revit technician, Matt, had managed to produce a #ConceptDrawing a couple of weeks ago and work is due to start very soon!

[Cityzen @CityzenDesign]

We've been working with the Debenhams #DesignTeam this month to integrate each of the teams conflicting requirements to develop a coherent #design.

We've also been working through the planning and legislation elements for the design.

We got a unanimous #planning decision at Arun Council this week for a #NewBuild house! It started as a #BuildingRegs pack for an extension, but it was decided that a new property would be a more suitable solution.

Our team have been creating a tender pack for our Adur and Worthing Council project for checking and coordination with other members of the #design team.

It's a #refurbishment of a #HistoricBuilding that’s been changed over the years and is now being turned into #SocialHousing.

[Cityzen @CityzenDesign]

In the last few months, we’ve been showing students around a variety of our sites and we've written a blog post all about it.

We have been working towards #compliance and sign off for the #refurbishment of an old pub converted into 8 apartments in #Worthing.

The project has taken longer than expected due to #BuildingControl and contractor issues so it'll be good to see this one over the line.

[Cityzen @CityzenDesign]

Following the previous contractor going into administration, we're making a full assessment before construction continues at a site in #Shoreham.

Once everything has been thoroughly checked (and checked again!), we'll file it and create an O&M documentation for handover.

[Cityzen @CityzenDesign]

It was fantastic to work with @CheesmurBC and @adurandworthing to #build much needed #housing for local residents. We're just working on getting all of the sign-off information and SAP's together to bring the project to a close.

Thanks to Cheesmur for the photos!

We also took the #ArchitecturalTechnology students to an old Debenhams site last week. We're currently working with the Structural Engineers, SWP to develop the new structure and their consultant team to develop how the EnergyStrategy for the #building will work.

[Cityzen @CityzenDesign]

It was great to take some #ArchitecturalTechnology students to Marine Place in #Worthing last week. Making sure students see real projects is important to us and we try to do as much as we can with local educational authorities.

Thanks to Poorang for the photos!

You may have noticed that we now have a shiny #NewWebsite! Please let us know your thoughts 😊 For those that haven't seen it yet, here's the link: https://t.co/Beu0WPPR3u

We've been modelling 80 flats in an old Debenhams #building, taking the #planning drawings and 3D survey data (thanks @archidata_uk ) to create a 3Dmodel of the proposed design.

When we're working on projects of this scale, we're always so grateful for #Revit!

Last Tuesday, we attended the HSE’s / Building Safety Executives webinar around the Submission process for High Risk Buildings (HRBs), the Building Control Process, and how the new Principal designer role will work.
