We run workshops with primary and secondary schools across the UK, engaging students at an early age in the built environment sector. Our workshops place a specific focus on schools with high populations of underrepresented groups, above average percentages of free school meal recipients and groups of students who might be first generation university applicants.

Through interactive talks, drawing, modelling sessions, measuring, mathematical surveying, and physical construction, the students get an increased understanding of the different routes into a construction and creative practice. Working from brief making and design concept, through to hands on sessions with all levels, including hard to reach kinaesthetic learners.

We partner with corporates who support through funding and occasionally join us in the delivery of our workshops!

OUR ADDED VALUE

Our process adds value to our projects, and achieves an economical build that also has a big impact.

Well designed projects, built with integrity to have a lasting impact don’t need to be expensive. Our process not only reduces our client’s risk, cost and timeframe but provides a measurable social, environmental or economic impact. We constantly monitor and evaluate the impact our work has on the communities in which it is situated and consider this highly important to progress towards our vision of quality design that is accessible to all.

REDUCED COST

With more efficiencies throughout the whole process, cost can be greatly reduced. Less requirement for external consultants or sub contractors creates further savings. On charitable development projects, workshop income helps to further reduce professional fees.

REDUCED TIME

Less requirement for communication between different parties reduces time on site (when compared with other procurement methods). Designing of certain elements can happen on site, further reducing time.

REDUCED RISK

With a single point of contact and responsibility, the client’s risk is reduced.

Our combined team experience further reduces the risk.

INCREASED INNOVATION

With a wide network of collaborators inputting ideas and expertise, innovative design and construction solutions are formed.
