continue to grow in the scope and size of commissions. Operationally the Practice embraces both the traditional skills of presentation drawing and model making, allied to state of the art computer systems. An early reputation for fine drawings, exhibited at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, has now been augmented by stunning computer visualisations. Our ability to communicate our ideas is one of the prime strengths of the Practice and one of the key services we offer to our clients.
