Community advice

In the last few years, an increasing proportion of Survey & Design Partnership’s work has been in giving advice (often unpaid) to community groups, community centres and individuals wanting to set up new community activities.
    So we’ve set up a not-for-profit arm of Survey & Design Partnership in order to reflect this trend in the way we run our practice.

Survey & Design Community Advice will provide low-cost advice to any community activity or organisation. Our fee will be based on our basic overhead costs (office space and professional indemnity insurance) plus a nominal salary based on the national average income. Please contact us for further details.

Recent projects

The Hill Station cafe  A community initiative on Telegraph Hill in New Cross decided to build a cafe in an unused part of the community centre. In close consultation with the group we developed a design and specified the works.

Then we tendered the groundworks, administrated that contract and worked with community volunteers on the fitting out of the space. The Hill Station is now a thriving cafe/restaurant, gallery and event space. We are currently working on extending it.

We are pleased to announce that SURVEY & DESIGN Partnership, working with H.A.MARKS LTD. has been selected by Sport England to support their framework for the Design and Construction of Innovative Modular Building Solutions in London and the South East.

The requirements include visiting and surveying sites for condition and suitability, preparing feasibility reports including outline design proposals, consulting with local Planning and Building Control departments, preparation and submission of necessary Planning and Building Control applications and developing detailed design solutions as well as the construction process itself. The framework will provide Clients with an informed ‘one stop shop’ for their project.

This 4 year framework agreement is a part of a new strategy by Sport England to facilitate the delivery of new and upgraded sports facilities across England initially in support of the £50m ‘Inspired’ themed round the Places People Play programme, but also subsequent funding programmes.

The framework agreement is also available for use directly by other public sector bodies and National Governing Bodies of Sport, etc in the above areas with the aim that community level projects are provided in line with Sport England’s best practice documentation and Design Guidance Notes.
