MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

Being a relatively small office, the management structure is simple and the staff members act as a close knit team, supporting each other as necessary on particular projects.

Iain Campbell oversees all commissions personally and remains directly responsible to each client to ensure delivery.

Staff continuity is carried through all projects from inception to completion to ensure that an identifiable and known point of contact is always available.

The practice has a policy of upgrading its information technology systems on a regular basis and is managed at Principal level. All staff have email and internet access, allowing the exchange of written and graphic information by e-communication on a daily basis.

We have an electronic document management system allowing us to carefully manage, file and retrieve documents.

I.T support is provided by Matrix Computer Services who are tasked with providing software and hardware back-up on an annual consultancy basis.

SUSTAINABILITY

CP Architects work to assist our communities to be sustainable and aim to set the standard for the future in terms of best practice for energy usage, carbon emissions, increased insulation and affordable heating.

We share the objectives set out by many of our clients to provide healthy and naturally light buildings that minimise energy usage through design, construction and occupation phases of a project.

This policy is reflected in our working methods with an ongoing office sustainability policy that specifies green and fair-trade products utilising local supplier chain, recycle printer cartridges and all waste paper. We car share to rural sites where possible and promote cycle to work scheme.

Our approach to waste and environmental management has also been developed to accord with RIAS policy in response to local Agenda 21.
