ECOLOGY BY DESIGN ®
Our resident Chartered Building Surveyor is also an Urban Ecologist. He is uniquely placed to bridge the gap between the Built Environment and the Natural Environment and understands the requirements, at a very practical level, of both the construction industry and the need to preserve, enhance and support the biodiversity and wildlife on development sites. There is no reason why any new development should be detrimental to the environment and in fact new developments can enhance the biodiversity of a site if enough thought is given at the design stage through the introduction of a plethora of man-made features which wildlife can exploit.
The Code for sustainable homes took tentative steps to improve ecology on sites, but ultimately served only as a checklist exercise and provided minimal tangible benefits on site. You may have heard of the Secure by Design initiative which combines the principles of 'designing out crime' with physical security. FA Surveyors have pioneered a similar approach – Ecology by design ® (EbD) initiative which designs in practicable and cost effective features into a development at the design stage.
We understand all too well the financial and time constraints often experienced on a construction project and with our EbD intuitive we can show you how on-site materials can be used/recycled to enhance the biodiversity on site. This also has other associated benefits in that it would not only reduce waste produced on site but also minimise costs.
Therefore, this unusual combination of skills makes our surveyor ideally qualified to provide a professional and practicable service to meet your needs and your budget.
If you are looking for that unique edge and selling point for your development and want to be the first to implant this pioneering initiative then speak with us.
