Chris Fry, Chief Executive, Kingsbridge
HNW were clear and concise and fully understood the brief and client expectations for Ferne Park from the outset. They provided excellent support and technical expertise throughout, and we thoroughly enjoyed working alongside the team to deliver a very successful project. A key achievement was obtaining BREEAM Outstanding, a significant milestone for an industrial development, which HNW were instrumental in securing. Cooperation and attendance at workshops and meetings were valuable and progressive, ensuring sustainability objectives were clearly coordinated and delivered. Drawing turnaround was efficient and accurate, and HNW consistently provided positive leadership across the design team when addressing technical and environmental challenges.
