• Project procurement including tender, full specification

We also have access to full ordnance survey data and utility information so we ensure the details below ground are well understood. If some information is unavailable, we can provide an underground service scan of the site, so there is unlikely to be any surprises from hidden services come to light.


Swept Path Analysis
With roads and parking areas being increasingly congested, building and site designs are being challenged more and more. Where manoeuvring space is at a premium, the client and the planning authority would like to be confident the external design is fit for purpose.

With this in mind, we have been able to provide as a separate service, a swept path analysis of any area using various FTA approved vehicles templates in Autocad. If you dont have a Cad drawing, dont worry, we can take most kinds of image, and as long as there is a scale we can overlay the sweep on it.

So if you need to know if a 3 axle HGV or refuse vehicle can adjust itself in a particular space, just call us and we can model most vehicles the Local Authorities would like to see.Click the below link to watch the animation.


CDM-Co Ordinator Services
In commercial development, the role of CDM C and the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007, form an important part of the building process. With issues of resource and competence of contractors and designers, the regulations are quite stringent with their requirements.

Alpha Design Ltd employ persons who hold individual qualifications to act as a CDM-C and are registered, as individuals, on the Designer register with the Association of Project Safety. Not only have they passed the competence tests but also they hold NEBOSH qualifications to back it up. In addition to all the above, each individual holds a CS-CS card to act as a CDM-C, demonstrating in an exam their competence in the legislation.
