Design
At Accordus we believe good design and the use of high quality and sustainable materials bring many benefits to the end user and ultimately to the broader community.
Wherever possible we will be seeking to maximise the use of Off Site Manufacturing (OSM) to exploit the advantages that a well-designed and constructed product can deliver. This not only applies to the short term, but also post occupancy to enable low cost maintenance to be realised.
People
Selecting the right team is vital to the success of any project. We use our skill and experience to ensure that the required companies or individuals are selected to each project, ensuring that we avoid duplication of roles and maximise efficiency. The development of a robust project plan ensures that all involved understand and take ownership of their roles and responsibilities.
