OUR APPROACH
Careful consideration needs to be taken when working with the historic environment. At DM, we take a unique approach:
- Recognise the need to work at pace
- Get involved in early design phase to ensure delivery and minimise unexpected delays
- Use our extensive experience to get mitigation right first time
- Proactive rather than reactive
- Actively seek engagement where appropriate to minimise risk
