first blog

Well, where to start? We're completely new to blogging so it might take us a while to get into the swing of things. I guess we'll start of with a short summary of this week's events....two of the company's directors have enjoyed a well earned break from the office and despite being on leave one of them still attended the Association of Building Engineers Yorkshire and Humber regional committee meeting and seminar yesterday evening at Scunthorpe.

We have been involved with  a number of interesting domestic projects this week requiring flood risk assessments. It seems that this requirement is becoming more and more frequent as the incidences of heavy rainfall events increase in the UK and flood mapping and associated flood risks become more well used and publicised. Some estimates predict that a 20% increase in flood levels could be on the cards! The Summer's certainly seem shorter these days.

We've begun prelimary designs for a new warehouse development in Sheffield and have several interesting planning applicaitons under consideration with differing Planning Authorities.

The Rotherham Advertiser has published a short article today reporting on the proposed conversion works at a former public house for which we are the designers and agents. Although the article seems to suggest that we have been interviewed for the piece we can advise that they have taken all of their information from the supporting documentation available to view on Rotherham MBC's public access website and not from us directly.

Well, that's all for now. Thanks for reading.
