The Results

Architecture that growsAs a key member of the team working at the site, MMP Architects first prepared a feasibility study and ideas board. These were then used as part of the design process and the agreed ideas were carried over to the main designs.

Working closely with structural engineers George Hutchison Associates, MMP carried out on-site inspection ensuring that quality was maintained and the project ran on time and to budget.

_________________, Head of Works at Tessenderlo said; "We had worked with MMP in the past and they had a good understanding of our business. After the initial feasibility study they were able to prepare a set of detailed designs and plans which were then used in the planning and build processes. We were extremely happy with the work that MMP undertook and we will definitely be using them again."
