URBAN DESIGN / MASTERPLANNING

New Communities and Edge of Settlements Our design approach focuses on creating distinctive places where people will want to put down roots and live as part of a vibrant community. We seek to integrate our proposals with the established settlement, or into the landscape setting, which involves detailed analysis and full understanding of the site and its context. Through this analysis our multi-disciplinary team aims to respect and enhance the existing character of the setting thereby creating the framework on which the sense of place is derived.

PRP’s approach to interior design is simple. It’s about understanding a client’s and user’s needs and optimising the opportunities presented by any given space.

We have established specialist delivery teams consisting of architects and technologists who have a passion for building construction technology, coordinated technical design and the delivery of quality buildings. Our success is built on enduring relationships with public and private sector developers and contractors who value our active, informed contribution to the project delivery process, our hands-on approach to design leadership, coordination, value and risk management and the considerable resource and depth of experience we offer.

We are committed to improving our processes, technical expertise, design efficiency and collaboration, for instance taking an active leading role with our clients to drive the expansion and use of Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Our diverse portfolio ranges from single dwelling exemplar prototypes, to sub-urban low density housing, complex high density mixed use regeneration and urban residential high rise. Our teams draw on tested solutions and detailing from a range of project types and constructions.

TECHNICAL DELIVERY

We believe BIM processes will improve collaboration, coordination and quality in the design, procurement and management of buildings and infrastructure. Through the use of BIM, we are targeting a more inclusive, integrated and complete design process and more intelligent use of digital information to add value, reduce risk and improve product and service quality for our clients.

We have established BIM expertise and protocols including standards based on the AEC (UK) BIM Standards for Revit and a portfolio of completed projects from concept design stage to full construction documentation.

BIM processes and benefits should not just be limited to the architectural and engineering design delivery and we are committed to engaging with our clients to explore the downstream potential of BIM, for example improving accuracy and speed of information delivery for measurement and costing and 4D graphics support to construction phasing and logistics planning.

BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING (BIM)

Identification and engagement of the full spectrum of stakeholders is essential to the successful delivery of projects.

We work collaboratively with clients and stakeholders, building consensus for a shared vision that unlocks the site potential and ensures viability for long term physical, economic and social regeneration. Our extensive experience has reinforced our belief that designing with existing communities, instead of just for them, delivers truly sustainable and cohesive future developments.

PRP has a long track record of tailoring appropriate consultation strategies for our clients, according to the nature, location, and scale of the project, the phase of its development and the interests of the stakeholders themselves.

We offer a wide range of consultation services including open days, exhibitions, charettes, workshops, focus groups, surveys, bespoke consultation websites, questionnaires and surveys utilising social media and other more traditional forms of communication to connect with all stakeholders.
