We recognise that sustainable materials, projects and strategies are not areas that have always been deemed as important or paramount in the construction industry. With our expertise, knowledge and drive for a sustainable future we are able to help support our clients and in turn their clients in changing perceptions and methods of work to see projects focusing on: local products, green materials, minimising waste and building to last a lifetime, just to name a few. “In the industry as a whole we are currently noticing that many of our clients are now looking to use better quality insulation products and more of it also. We are also noticing that the majority of our clients look to use renewable technology within their projects from the very initial design stages. We aim to provide a professional but personal approach to all of our clients so that they feel confident in our advice which allows them in turn to make informed decisions.” Looking ahead, Sophie is keen to express her excitement at the firm’s future plans, which are firmly focused on growth. “In the future we aim to grow our customer/client base which in time will support us in our desire to add to our ever growing portfolio of projects.”
