Built Environment Design and Consultancy
Are you looking to procure design and consultancy support? We are here to help.
At NHC Procurement, we understand the importance of reducing your carbon footprint whilst creating healthier spaces for building occupants and the wider community. That’s why we work with approved delivery partners and suppliers across the UK to provide built environment consultancy and design support to provide help and guidance when you need it most.
What is the Built Environment Design & Consultancy Framework?
Built environment design and consultancy is a professional service that provides expert advice, as well as planning, architecture and engineering services, for human-made structures like buildings, public spaces and other infrastructure.
Built environment design services cover architecture and urban design, civil and structural engineering, building services and landscape architecture. Built environment consultancy focuses on creating suitable sustainability and net zero strategies, meeting planning and regulatory compliance, ongoing project and construction management and performance testing.
The Built Environment Design & Consultancy Framework can support your residents and other individuals by shaping spaces, homes and communities to be safer, more accessible and better suited to human health and wellbeing needs.
All built environment design and consultancy work must meet core statutory frameworks, like the Building Safety Act 2022, as well as other structural safety, fire protection and energy performance regulations. Our built environment solutions also help meet Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) standards and evaluate the environmental performance across the entire life cycle of your project.
At NHC Procurement, the suppliers we work with are experienced in enhancing homes and other spaces by considering indoor environmental quality and neuro-inclusive design, ensuring universal access and adapting housing where necessary and putting your residents at the heart of everything they do.
