Continually changing economic, planning and environmental challenges demand well designed commercial spaces. We understand that imaginative, well designed developments, buildings and infrastructure, that maximise useable floor space and available land, are key to a successful development.
We have worked on a wide variety of commercial projects, from prestigious mixed-use regenerationdevelopments to refurbishments, new-build multi-storey office complexes and extensions.
We are committed to helping employers, developers and retailers create inspirational environments that maximise value and meet the needs of today’s society. Our joined up approach to engineering and building control enables us to deliver innovative solutions from inception to completion, utilising the latest, most efficient design and draughting packages.
We have embraced sophisticated and industry-changing Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. We recognise that excellent visuals aid project understanding, but we know that BIM technology is about more than creating a 3D building model. It gives us the tools to bring together a range of information about a project’s physical and functional features across its lifecycle. We understand that BIM technology is constantly evolving and we are committed to updating our processes to fully realise the potential of this powerful resource.

Environment Planning and Development
At MLM we specialise in offering a fresh and forward thinking approach to the provision of early advice to clients and planning professionals.
Maximising site potential during land negotiations and the planning stage is key to a successful development. We aim to contribute effectively to the early stages of planning and development to maximise site potential. We offer a proactive, fully co-ordinated approach to due diligence, feasibility and planning to capitalise on site development potential.
Our in-house environment planning and development expertise gives us the ability to make a valuable contribution when considering site potential and development constraints, whether commercial, legal, topographical, geographical, geotechnical or financial.
We understand the process of due diligence, acquisition and divestiture of a site and have an “eye” for commercial viability.
We can provide expert advice on relevant acts, legislation and other regulatory, advisory and good practice guidelines affecting developments.

Buildings and Infrastructure
Our expertise in the commercial sector is diverse and founded on many years of experience, covering projects of varying sizes and complexity. Our multidisciplinary or single engineering discipline teams work in all parts of the commercial sector. Our teams provide comprehensive support throughout commercial projects, from initial design support at concept stage, through planning and tender processes, detailed design and throughout construction, right up to completion.
We adopt a commercial and innovative approach to delivering buildings and infrastructure with BIM, using advanced modelling technology to resolve increasingly complex planning and design issues.
We believe that successful buildings and infrastructure depend upon a proactive, flexible approach to the partnership between the client, design team and contractor, working together to deliver optimum design solutions.
Our expertise covers the full project life cycle of the property, from inception to completion, and includes all of the technical engineering disciplines required to deliver a successful project. We specialise in both traditional and modern methods of construction to suit the client and project requirements. Our knowledge of delivering low-carbon solutions and navigating the team through the legislative and practical implications of design has successfully provided cost and value benefits to our clients.
Compliance
Page 16
Our approach to compliance is to listen and engage, applying our expert knowledge and extensive experience to anticipate the compliance issues that will need resolving and work in partnership to deliver a successful project.
We seek involvement at the earliest stages to ensure compliance issues are understood and effectively risk managed to protect the client’s interests and deliver a cost-effective project.
Our approach is commercially aware and proactive, with the provision of expert advice on all legislation and other regulatory, advisory and good practice guidelines affecting commercial developments.
Our building control experience spans the complete range of commercial development, from fit outs and refurbishment through to high-rise, mixed-tenure schemes. We take a creative and problem solving approach, working alongside the team to reduce risk, create certainty and deliver value.

Sustainability
We believe that sustainability within the built and natural environment, together with social and economic sustainability, should run through every aspect of development.
We provide clients and stakeholders with practical and commercial advice, design and solutions. These include renewable energy studies, sustainability statements, Code for Sustainable Homes, ecological and environmental mitigation, materials reuse assessments and sustainable building, infrastructure and transportation design. We provide strategic and technical advice to allow the team to navigate through the competing legislative requirements and aspirational drivers for projects.
Buildings and infrastructure have a significant impact on the environment, through the emission of greenhouse gases, the production of waste and the consumption of water and construction materials. Simple, practical interventions at the design and planning stage of a project will have a significant impact upon the completed development. Innovation plays a large part in delivering real value cost-effectively and our approach is to understand the client brief and then deliver solutions which meet and exceed those needs.
These factors can represent a considerable contribution to climate change and other environmental problems both in the UK and around the world. However, responsible, sustainable design and practice are at the heart of our business and in the technical advice we provide.

Case Study
The Wine Society, Stevenage
A landmark temperature controlled, high bay steel framed warehouse extension, comprising a braced steel frame structure 18m clear to underside of a 45m clear span trussed roof structure connected to the existing wine warehouse facility. The scheme involved a combination of pad and piled foundations and a sustainable drainage solution with some 380 cubic metres of surface water attenuation to ensure the scheme did not increase flood risk to others. The construction included the innovative use of Hemcrete® in the wall construction using off-site manufactured panels. This project is believed to be the first time that Hemcrete® has been used in conjunction with a high bay steel frame building.

Value Engineering
At MLM we are committed to delivering value on projects, showing that best value is not just cost cutting, rather delivering the client’s actual requirements and business needs. Our approach to value engineering is to optimise costs for the project and benchmark the design to the project brief. Adaptability and flexibility are key attributes at the conceptual stage of a project and our approach promotes our involvement with design team members, users and stakeholders at the earliest stage.
BIM
We utilise the latest, most efficient design and draughting packages. We have embraced using sophisticated and industry changing Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology.
We recognise that excellent project visuals aid project understanding, but we know that BIM technology is about more than creating a 3D building model. BIM technology allows us the tools to bring together a range of information about a project’s physical and functional features across its lifecycle.
We also understand that BIM technology is constantly evolving and we are committed to updating our processes to fully realise the potential of this powerful information technology.
