Community

We believe that buildings should be developed with people’s health and wellness at the center of design. The WELL Building Standard takes a holistic approach to health in the built environment addressing behavior, operations and design. WELL is a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the built environment that impact human health and well-being, through air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.

Reception & Meeting

Natural light floods this area -
with views out across London.

Soft seating positioned looking across London
provides comfort in a quiet surrounding

Open Office & Collab Area

Acoustic comfort across the
office is enhanced by the
addition of acoustic felt leaves
that help to break up the
desking, while absorbing sound.

Introducing interior plants into an office space increases
the humidity levels, and reduces minor health
problems among staff. In fact, studies have shown that
plants can reduce sick building syndrome by around
25%, and thus reduce absenteeism and increase the
overall health of workers

Kitchen & Breakout

The kitchen provides an
area with space and
appliances to help the users
create healthy meals within
the workplace.

The central breakout area
provides a social hub, bringing people
together in one area.

Mixed seating styles help
everyone find comfort in the
space around them. Providing
a palette of posture has
proven benefits to staff well being

For modern open floorplan offices, achieving quality acoustics is a driver of employee experience, productivity and wellbeing. Beyond the obvious disruptions to phone calls and meetings, ambient noise takes a proven toll on concentration, mental fatigue and stress levels over the workday.

By spreading the cost of a project or purchase over time in line with the useful life of the assets can unlock significant tax savings for your customers. Here’s how it works.

Firstly, it is worth pointing out that tax savings are only relevant to organisations subject to paying tax on their profits. For public sector organisations and others who don’t, the main benefits are typically all around making budgets work.

As the illustration demonstrates, there are some tax savings associated with using capital (mainly through the tax relief afforded by capital allowances) but typically these are modest compared to the 100% tax relief (on both the capital and interest) available through leasing.

Remember this is for illustrative purposes only, as individual circumstances differ.

CDM
Regulations

CDM regulations set out what people involved in construction work need to do to protect themselves from harm and anyone the work affects. Whatever your role in construction, CDM aims to improve health and safety in the industry by helping you to:

• Planned work so the risks involved are managed from start to finish.

• Obtain the right people for the right job at the right time.

• Cooperate and coordinate your work with others.

• Provide the right information about the risks and how they are being managed.

• Communicate the information effectively to those who need to know.

• Consult and engage with workers about the risks and how they are being managed.
