Our partner – Wessex Archaeology

All new construction projects must pass specific ecological and archaeological requirements before they receive planning permission. Our alliance with Wessex Archaeology places us in a strong competitive position, as together we offer our clients, a complete service in the fields of ecology, environmental consultancy and archaeology.

The partnership offers developers a more efficient and streamlined method for commissioning these specialist services, allowing access to the best advice available as part of one contract without the need to go to multiple firms.
