Architects & developers
Health designed in from the start. We work alongside architects, developers, builders and designers, from first sketch to handover.
Discuss a project
Why involve us
Most health outcomes in a building are fixed at design stage: orientation and glazing, the ventilation strategy, thermal performance, acoustic separation and material choices. Changing them after handover is expensive, and sometimes impossible. We add a medical and an engineering view to your project early, when it costs least and does most.
We don’t replace your consultants. We give your team clear, measurable health targets and the evidence behind them, so you can design to them and show clients the result.
Where we fit in a project
Brief
We help set health goals and measurable targets for the project across light, air, thermal, acoustics, water, materials and sleep.
Design review
We review plans and specifications before anything is built: daylight and glazing, lighting design, ventilation, thermal performance, acoustic separation and materials.
Construction
We answer questions from the team and review substitutions and variations that could affect health outcomes.
Pre-handover testing
We measure air quality, light, noise and temperature before occupants move in, with a report you can share with clients or buyers.
After occupation
We measure again once the building is in use, to confirm performance and inform your next project.
Ways to work together
Single review
A one-off review of drawings or a specification at any stage, with written recommendations ranked by health benefit and cost.
Project partner
Involvement across the stages of a single project, from brief to pre-handover testing, under one agreed scope and fee.
Ongoing collaboration
A standing arrangement for practices and developers with a pipeline of projects: a consistent health brief, priority reviews and testing across your portfolio.
Team briefings
Short, evidence-based sessions for your staff on a chosen topic, such as daylight and circadian lighting, indoor air or acoustic comfort.
What you get
Targets your team can design to. Recommendations graded by the strength of the evidence, so you know which ones matter. Measurements that show clients and buyers what was achieved. Guidance on healthy building frameworks, including the WELL Building Standard, where they suit the project.
