This synergy empowers us to offer an unparalleled service specializing in the design and development of crematoria.
Guided by data and vision
Our journey begins with the collection of essential data during the Feasibility and Client Brief phase. This information forms the cornerstone of the subsequent design stage, where integration into the landscape, impact mitigation and adherence to biodiversity standards are prioritised in accordance with national and local planning policies.
Putting people first
Balancing tranquility with functionality, our aim is to forge a crematorium with a distinct spatial quality – a serene place for reflection and remembrance that remains efficiently manageable on a day-to-day basis. Our all-encompassing approach includes diligent project management, underpinned by financial oversight and a dedicated single point of contact, leveraging our robust relationships with local authorities. Once the design blueprint is perfected, our skilled team seamlessly handles the construction process from start to finish.
Quality assured
Our wealth of experience equips us to prepare impeccable illustrative, qualitative and quantitative material, along with comprehensive contract documentation that seamlessly aligns with construction design management, planning and environmental regulations.
Navigating the planning landscape
Securing planning approval for a new crematorium development necessitates multifaceted assessment and meticulous documentation. Sensitivity of the site plays a role in shaping the degree of studies required. Our comprehensive approach encompasses a range of aspects, including archaeology, ecology, policy statements, air quality and environmental impact studies.
From pre-application meetings to the final presentation of a meticulously compiled package, we ensure every planning criterion is met.
With CDS, your vision takes shape seamlessly, driven by a team of experts who deeply understand the significance of these spaces.
