• Site Analysis & Surveys – We can begin with detailed desktop studies to establish context, including environmental or permitting designations. This is often followed by topographic and bathymetric surveys, soil and silt testing, and condition assessments, with invasive investigations where necessary. Consideration to possible grant funding options will be given at stage one.  

• Design Development – From feasibility to detailed design and master plans, we integrate structural, hydrological, ecological, and regulatory considerations, from the outset. We prepare technical specifications, construction budgets and methodologies  for, SUDS and drainage solutions, pipework and pumping systems, irrigation solutions, lining designs, aeration and water clarity proposals, bridges, jetties, erosion control, revetment and bank stabilisation solutions, natural flood management and river restoration methods, wetland habitats, water control structures, de silting options and disposal, and much more—always applying value engineering principles, and considering nature-based and bio engineered solutions where appropriate. 

• In-House Ecology Expertise – Our ecological consultants work directly within the design team, ensuring environmental considerations are embedded from day one. We also provide ecology reports to support planning and compliance. 

• Planning & Compliance – We can manage all necessary planning applications,  and permitting needs including Environment Agency approvals, ordinary water course consents and so on . All considerations that arise as part of these applications can be addressed including items like archaeological reporting, heritage considerations, BDNG assessment, hydrological and flood risk compliance, water abstraction and impounding licensing, silt/ dredging waste disposal and reuse classification and permitting, ensuring projects meet all regulatory requirements. Where necessary we will challenge inhibitive decisions that conflict with previous precedents.  

• Procurement & Construction Support – We prepare tender documentation and provide contractor lead, practical input throughout design, procurement and construction, often creating more suitable delivery methodologies, helping clients move seamlessly from design to delivery. 

Using the latest CAD and 3D modelling software, we visualise and refine proposals, enabling clients and stakeholders to fully engage with designs before work begins on site. And because we both design and build, our solutions are firmly grounded in practical reality—robust, cost-effective, and future-ready.
