We are in a time of rapid change, constantly evolving technology is forcing the pace of design and construction.

Holmes Miller believe now is the time to embrace this change and the opportunity afforded through the evolving technology to optimise the design and construction process; to continually improve project outcomes and ultimately create better buildings fit for the challenges that we face now and in the future.

Our clear and concise 3 stage strategy to DEFINE, DEVELOP, DELIVER ensures the entire process is transparent and understandable to fully leverage the critical information our Clients need to make decisions about their investment and manage their asset to its fullest potential.

We do not believe in surprises. We align to all prevailing BIM standards within the UK BIM Framework and can translate these into relatable language thatsupports an open, collaborative process utilising technologies to provide fully immersive environments that create a better experience for our clients – putting them at the heart of the design process.

We believe in checking twice, building once. Throughout virtual design and construction processes, we fully validate and coordinate all design information and verify they meet your needs throughout the process. We have developed bespoke programs and workflows to assess, validate and visualise data completeness in easy to understand, user friendly dashboards as part of our information management services.
