Where We Work
A&P operate mainly in North East London, East Anglia & the Home Counties. Subject to project type and need, we can provide site attendance further afield where required.
We are known to Local Authority’s Planning and Building Control Departments, and are familiar with the individual Councils’ preferences and restrictions. This giving A&P the advantage when commenting on likely Planning Success and subsequent buildability.
Similarly, A&P have a deep understanding of the factors effecting foundation design associated with the Geology of the areas we operate in, and are able to offer early guidance in the design process as to the likelihood and need for specialist designed foundations, and other impact factors that may prevent or hinder project success.
Our Values
Vision
We are committed to exploring design beyond conventional solutions, using creativity, technical knowledge and modern technologies to maximise the potential of every scheme. By doing so, we help expose opportunities and possibilities that clients may not have previously considered, while maintaining a personalised approach tailored to each project and client.
A&P Designs recognises the importance of sustainable and environmentally responsible design. Wherever possible, we seek to incorporate energy-efficient solutions, responsible material choices and thoughtful design strategies that reduce environmental impact while delivering practical, long-term value for our clients while maintaining practical, cost-effective outcomes for our clients.
Integrity
We are committed to providing clear, honest and realistic advice from the outset. Drawing on our professional experience, we identify potential risks, constraints and time considerations early in the process, so our clients are fully informed. While every effort is made to anticipate potential challenges, some site conditions or technical matters may only become apparent during later stages of a project. Where this occurs, we work proactively with our clients and consultants to address these matters in a practical and transparent manner.
