Our Approach Burns Guthrie and Partners are committed to achieving value for money, quality architecture and sustainable design. We pride ourselves in our ability to listen to and engage with our clients and adopt a warm and friendly approach.

As a practice we are taking positive steps toward more sustainable construction. Our team is also mindful of the Egan Principles of utilising more offsite fabrication and Modern Methods of Construction. In our recent projects we have investigated SIPS and panelised construction and have used this method of construction at St Michaels Primary School, Chatham where SIPS panels were utilised on the roof, enabling a watertight structure to be achieved rapidly. Panelised construction panels have also been used at the new Drop-in Centre at the Conquest Centre in St Leonards. We recognise and are committed to developing a green approach. We are members of the Green Register and TRADA and staff regularly attend seminars and training in sustainable design. Burns Guthrie and Partners are committed to advances in IT with all staff using the latest version of AutoCAD for drafting. Three workstations are dedicated to AutoCAD Architecture. We use 3D software (Sketchup) as a visualisation design tool and to explain or illustrate our intentions to our clients and planners. For the future we are working to develop a practice extranet.
