Our approach ensures developers that projects will be delivered timely and cost-effectively.

  • We spend a lot of time at the beginning of a project dealing with any issues before work starts. This includes comparing and coordinating drawings, plans and models, to make the process easier, faster and less costly going forward. 

  • Our extensive use of BIM allows all parties involved to freely view and cross-reference complex drawings and models at any point in a project. 

  • We’re experts at analysing plans and sites to see where we can make them more efficient and more profitable.  

  • We’re experts at analysing plans and sites to see where we can make them more efficient and more profitable. We’re always thinking about ways to make the build process faster and easier, while maintaining high standards of quality and design. 

Feasibility Studies

We regularly provide feasibility studies for our clients, developed in conjunction with an extensive knowledge of the London and Local Plans, allows the company to produce viable projects from a commercial perspective. These feasibility studies are often complimented with early stage 3D modelling to explore the massing of the proposal in context.

Planning and Design Development

Acting as the Design Team Leader in most projects alleviates the need for additional cost to the client in having to hire a separate project manager. Shorten prides itself in bringing strong leadership and communication skills to its projects.

Post-Planning Working Drawings

3D modelling is used extensively throughout the practice. All projects are 100% accurate across all models, alleviating the time and cost to work things out at construction stage.
