Forum Design Consultants believe that the most successful designs come from an extensive and continuous dialogue with our clients and, where relevant, their end user. Only by understanding our client's needs can we exceed expectations.

FDC acknowledge their responsibility to the environment through good design and planning. Our approach is to provide sustainable building solutions that reflect a responsible attitude to the use of the world's limited resources. By applying a sensitive understanding of the local surroundings, we utilise the best ecological and environmental practice from initial planning stages through to project completion.

In addition FDC exploits modern technologies which are environmentally friendly, including the use of electronic communications and shared project workspaces where ever possible as an alternative to travel and paper based communication.

Although we retain and encourage freehand sketching we use AutoCAD allowing us to collaborate with other organisations and integrate with systems as and when required. In addition we use the National Building Specification and the Green Building Specification system supported by a reqularly updated product and technical library.
