Making the best use of and the finite resources of the earth is at the core our work.

Our specialist sustainability team researches and designs exemplar projects promoting best practice and innovation in sustainable development.

We provide and manage an intranet-based sustainability knowledge centre to support the whole practice and ensure that all projects are audited and assessed for their environmental impact..

The sustainability team carries out:

• The design and delivery of exemplar projects
• Specialises in briefing, design development support and specification advice
• In-house sustainability benchmarking and assessment
• Sponsored research for sustainable construction

We believe that good environmental performance is intrinsic to good business performance. Our Environmental Policy is integrated into DyerProcess (our bespoke QA system) and has been developed to ensure that we achieve BS EN ISO 14001 accreditation. It extends beyond our company activities to address the ways in which - through innovative and responsible design - we can enable the owners of our buildings to operate in an environmentally sound and business-efficient manner. We set stringent sustainability targets and have consistently secured ‘excellent’ BREEAM ratings for our projects, including one of the first for an education building in the UK.
