Our practice work has always been broadly based including a wide variety of projects of all sizes across the full spectrum of building types and clients. It ranges from traditional design and detailing for old and new buildings, including refurbishment, alteration, preservation and conservation through to all stages of the design, construction and fitting out of complex projects involving modern building techniques and specialist installations. Projects include education, residential, commercial, industrial, retail, health and leisure schemes etc. We maintain very traditional professional values of service but adopt a totally open and flexible approach towards the design and detailing of a project and the process for its construction. In addition to the normal tendering procedures we are experienced with alternative contract arrangements and building procurement routes. These embrace arrangements for programme acceleration through negotiation and contractor participation, various forms of Design and Build and other non-traditional tendering and contractual methods designed to suit specific Client needs. We are used to working directly with either Clients or Contractors and sometimes both through 'novation' for all or parts of the design and procurement process.
Throughout all our activities we give emphasis to understanding and meeting the requirements of the Client's brief, especially budget and programme and to satisfying the needs of the building users. We have a reputation for reliability, technical competence and commercial awareness. Our professional expertise is applied in the most flexible and effective way and we encourage a team approach and a close working relationship between all involved parties. A Practice characteristic is the direct involvement and personal service given by Partners. They are full design and production working members of a close-knit group that provides all the necessary professional services throughout the project.
As a result of a full commitment to Computer Aided Design in the late 1980s, the use of modern technology including of fast internet connections for data exchange and information retrieval etc. is a well developed feature of our operations and is carefully balanced with our traditional design and presentation skills. The application of progressive flexible thinking, traditional skills and modern technology within an Architectural Practice of nearly 150 years standing and a wealth of broad experience, provides Eric Cole and Partners with unique qualities. These combined with our traditional personal service and commitment, form a secure basis for our team to reliably fulfil our Client's needs and meet the changing demands of the property and construction market.
