Through a successful stakeholder engagement process, and rigorous design review and critique the project was moved forward at feasilibty stage to find spatial solution that met the client’s requirements but also sat within the project budgets.

Moving forwards to tendering the project, BAS Property Consultants Ltd completed a full specification alongside working drawings, to ensure the completed design would be provide a clean, practical and high end working environment that specifically met the servicing needs for the Zephyr build process.
