Built environment consultation: Erskine blows its own trumpet
Having been recently commissioned to undertake the project management, public consultation and marketing on a number of built environment and masterplan projects, we just wanted to shout about our skills in this area.
Because consultation around buildings and spaces is what we do, it is easy to forget that not everybody knows that this is one of our core competencies.
Using researchers, PR, artists, filmmakers, graphic and website designers (at our sister company Erskine Design), we have a powerful range of techniques to smooth the development process in a meaningful way. We can help developers maximise the speed at which their proposals go through the planning process (and therefore save money) and we can ensure that planners and regeneration agencies properly engage with all those who are going to be affected by major planning proposals, ensuring their statutory duties are dispensed and that communities really feel they have been listened to.
Over the next six months as some of our latest projects develop, we will tell you the secret of how we do it. But if you want to know why we are being asked to coordinate prestigious community consultation campaigns, please contact Simon Campbell.
