our approach

housing-development-doddington

At etc Design Ltd we adopt a tailored and collaborative working approach to ensure our clients are included in every stage of the design journey and receive the design solution that is right for them.

With over two decades of experience we have refined our processes to deliver focused thinking, increased efficiency and a fresh, enthusiastic approach to design on every project. We pride ourselves on being problem solvers and innovators, achieving solutions that will satisfy our client’s brief requirements and overcome site constraints.

 

Our team utilises the latest Autodesk Revit software to share collaborative designs across all disciplines within the construction process and, where required, within a BIM (Building Information Modelling) environment.

Using both 2D plans as well as 3D visualisations and animations allows us to present our clients with a clear vision of a completed project. This gives measurable benefits in ensuring both cost control and delivering quality buildings that meet our client’s needs.
