Introducing Padghams' High Performance Building Advisory Service

Padghams has developed a service to provide clients with the more effective, value-added advice concerning the life cycle and functional performance of building facilities.

Padghams' High Performance Building Advisory Service (HPB) draws upon the consultancy's considerable knowledge and experience to define the link between design innovation and building performance.

In determining the most effective cost management outcomes for such a project, Padghams takes a holistic focus in addressing the Triple Bottom Line. As Padghams' Director, Peter Cox explained: "A high performance building is one that is planned, designed and developed to meet its functional requirements while performing optimally in financial, social and environmental terms."

To be most effective, each design component of a high performance building project is carefully considered in light of its contribution to the functional performance and life cycle of the building. This process allows design innovations and the resultant stakeholder benefits to be maximised.

In order to maximise the services the HPB offers into the future, Padghams has committed significant resources into quantitative research.

Padghams has taken the initiative to forge cooperative relationships with recognised local and international research institutions in order to formulate evidence-based knowledge, particularly in regard to social criteria, in the promotion of high performance buildings.

It is anticipated that the design innovations arising from the research will provide further insights and evidence-based knowledge for building designers and developers which, in turn, will contribute to the economy and the community at large.

Padghams is proud of its ongoing reputation for achieving impressive cost management outcomes for building projects. The High Performance Building Advisory Service will add even greater value to clients' building investment decisions.

Padghams managing director, Mr Peter Cox, would be pleased to discuss the application of HPB to your next project.
