Green Design

We are keen to promote the cause of sustainability in our work. This involves:

• specifying locally produced materials (eg. timber, Welsh slate)
• insulating buildings as much as possible (and certainly better than Building Regulations standard)
• giving consideration to energy-saving devices (low-energy lights, condensing boilers, solar/photovoltaic power, triple glazing)
• if newbuild, giving consideration to orientation of the proposed building
• avoiding unsuitable or harmful materials & components.

All buildings have an effect on our environment, some more harmful than others. We try to persuade our clients to be responsible citizens in this respect, and we endeavour to work with our clients as a team to do our part, little as it may be, in conserving the earth’s resources and minimising our harmful effects on it.
