Welcome to Lifecycle Design

What we do

Holistic planning support for architects and developers

We guide small and medium-sized developers through the planning process, promoting a seamless process that’s both realistic and cost-effective. We address local authority sustainability requirements for planning applications and affordable housing assessments.

Satisfying local authority sustainability targets is an absolutely essential element of this – one with long-term environmental consequences, as well as immediate impacts on your bottom line.

We provide:

  • Expert guidance to developers on meeting their pre and post contract statutory requirements
  • Circular Economy reporting
  • BREEAM New Construction-compliant life cycle cost assessments
  • Energy Assessment, New Build, retrofit and existing homes
  • Energy and Sustainability reports for planning
  • Retrofit assessment
  • BREEAM Domestic Refurbishment
  • The Housing Quality Mark

Communications and publicity

We offer communications and publicity support to all our clients.

If you have had the foresight and dedication to create high-quality developments, your good work is worth celebrating. We provide communications support across print and digital media, encompassing anything from press releases and new brochures to video presentations and social media campaigns. The Green Plaque is a prime example of this.

The Green Plaque

The Green Plaque is a UK-wide environmental assessment for newbuilds and retrofit projects, commercial and residential. Once applicants have successfully completed the scheme’s user-friendly assessment process, the client is awarded a physical plaque, which can be displayed on-site.

Incorporated into the plaque’s design is a QR code linking to a report that details the development’s environmental features and innovations.

Some clients have used the Green Plaque to support applications for other work, awards and funding.
