Sports and Leisure

Sports & Leisure is a specialist sector with its own funding streams and procedure. Usually there are a number of stakeholders involved in a project whose varied requirements must be met whilst still maintaining a cohesive scheme that is deliverable and offers value for money.

PCH Associates have lots of experience in dealing with these projects and also where there are multiple and complimentary funding paths involved. Our extensive knowledge of specialist sports and leisure products and suppliers puts PCH Associates in an ideal position to help get your project off the ground. We are able to prepare supporting information and drawings for public consultation, funding applications and planning applications as well as oversee projects once on site, through to completion.

Residential

PCH Associates know how important residential projects can be for homeowners and developers. After consultation and development of a specific brief with the client, PCH Associates are able to prepare a scheme, liaise with the Local Planning Authority and secure your consent. We can also prepare Building Regulations and Construction drawings.

On smaller householder schemes we understand the importance of explaining procedure and keeping each client abreast of the ‘next steps’ during a project and anticipated costs along the way. On larger schemes we can work closely with planning consultants and land agents on behalf of a developer to ensure the scheme proposed is likely to be successful in gaining consent.
