Testimonial:
‘SRE consistently provided a clear, and concise service to us throughout the BREEAM Assessment on the Institute of Marine Sciences. Their methods take the pain of paper-chasing away from what can be seen as a bureaucratic process and leave the design team free to concentrate on other aspects of the project.'
Matt Swanton, Partner, Re-Format
