The Team
At the start of a project, ICE Arch assembles a team of competent professionals with proven track records. According to the nature and scale of the project, this may include a project administrator, technicians, structural engineeer, quantity surveyor, landscape architect, interior designer, planning consultant, etc.
The Support Network
ICE Arch Ltd is a member of a Small Practice Group – a group of sole-practitioner architectural practices established for mutual support and experience sharing. Through a business-for-business network, ICE Arch Ltd has access to a range of professional expertise – finance, legal, creative, technology.
The ICE Arch Virtual Organisation
ICE Arch adopts the increasingly popular virtual organisation approach to business. Hence it provides the personal and flexible service to its clients that is the hallmark of a small practice, but at the same time has ready access to the resources, synergy and range of expertise that traditionally would only be found in a large company.
