Client Adviser
When considering a large construction project, the most important decisions are often the ones made at the beginning, before the planning and design stages and long before work starts on site. MLA’s Client Advisers are highly trained, experienced architects.
Sustainable Design
The Team at MLA believe that design must be considered as part of the process that influences the sustainability of the building. A truly sustainable building can only be achieved through a fully inclusive and collaborative approach.
Retro Fit
Design must be considered as part of the process that influences the sustainability of the building and should be driven by the entire project team. A truly sustainable building can only be achieved through a fully inclusive and collaborative approach.
