New Login portal

In order to improve our client’s experience we have updated  the way they are able to access project related information. From now on, they will be using the new Login portal which is available via our website’s Practice section.  We are doing away with password protected pages and requesting an email address to download information.  We will provide each client with a unique Username and a Password for accessing the published project packages in a much streamlined and personalised way.

 

Making project information available whenever needed to clients and the wider project team is a part of the add-on features they are entitled to enjoy when becoming our clients.  We know that electronic communications and email information are vital in today’s fast moving world.  On the other hand, when it comes to sharing important documents, large amount of data or drawings, email attachments are not reliable. Therefore, by using the client portal we make sure clients are able to find this vital information easily, reliably and 24/7. Thus, no need to browse through hundreds of emails in your inbox to find the latest set of drawings -simply find them a few clicks away on our online portal!

 

We will keep published information available from publication until the end of the project’s rectification period.

At the Gateway

Afternoon RIBA CPD session at the Gateway, Aylesbury on ‘foundation packages’ by RB Roger Bullivant Ltd. Very informative seminar on alternatives to traditional foundation systems, specially when it comes to underpinning; thanks for addressing our query.

Order of the City of Pitalito

Diego has just returned from a trip to Colombia to see family over Christmas and New Year. Whilst in his home town, Pitalito he was invited to the opening ceremony of the theatre in the new Art Centre. During his speech The Mayor of Pitalito awarded Diego with the ‘Orden Ciudad de Pitalito’. This is a medal only given to the most prominent personalities and figures of the town. Diego is hugely honoured by this unexpected recognition of his work in designing the Art Centre, which has been a labour of love since its initial conception 15 years ago to its completion on 28th December 2015.

 

The Art Centre is now officially called ‘Centro Cultural Hector Polania Sanchez’ named after the late politician who promoted Art and Culture in this region.

 

The building, like no other in the town and Southern region, will be the centre for arts and culture and will be giving present and future generations of ‘Laboyanos’ (inhabitants of Pitalito city and valley) a solid platform from which to express their artistic interest, and also gather to share and learn new ones.

 

The local Council and their representatives complimented Diego on the rich architectural integrity and elegant design of the completed building which is already providing a versatile space for artists to express their work and talent. Even more poignant for Diego as he comes from a family of artists, most of whom still live and work locally.

Our New Website

We are excited to announce the launch of our newly designed website, with a fresh new look and user-friendly navigation.

 

We have updated it with the latest information and included an eye-catching portfolio of some of our work.

 

We wanted to make our more user-friendly and easy to navigate. We have also enhanced the Client Log In Area, enabling you to securely access the latest information on your project and how it is progressing, for example planning permission, updated documentation and drawings.

 

We also wanted to give our clients the opportunity to get to know us better, who we are as a company and the services that we can provide.

 

Our new site is now divided into five main sections: Home, About Us, What We Do, Our Projects and Our Blog to help you find the information that you are looking for quickly and easily.

 

We hope you like our new website as much as we do and if you would like to provide us with any feedback on its usability or have any questions, please feel free to contact us on 01865 327 883.
