With an eye for both aesthetics and practicality, successful interior design consultants use creativity and specialised training to perform a wide range of design services Developing the most suitable purchasing strategy will involve selecting material suppliers according to a range of criteria that are likely to include speed of delivery, cost, quality, specific project constraints, risk, asset ownership and financing.

The choice of materials, their sourcing and manufacture, affect the forms of our buildings and infrastructure, their carbon cost, construction methods, performance, running costs and durability. Ultimately, that choice of materials determines the lifespan of an asset and the ability to reuse or recycle its elements. Materials play a fundamental role in the built environment; in its design, in its management. Our materials experts help you navigate complex choices through clear-sighted advice and recommendations, assessing the opportunities, capabilities, reliability and risks of materials and manufacturing methods. Whether you have a blank canvas, want to optimise the performance of a new structure or understand risks to an existing one, or you want to sustain and enhance the lifespan of your asset.
