Behind every brief

146 pages. 516 entries. Three restaurants.

That's one council's weekly planning list. And the detail that matters isn't even in it. It's in separate decision notices, technical reports and company filings, on different websites, in different formats, none of them linked. The same building can turn up under three different addresses.

Commercial kitchen fit-out with stainless steel extraction canopy and cooking equipment

The extraction.
The kitchen.
Your next contract.

Our systems help you understand what the specification demands and where your expertise fits.

One project. Several jobs.

The installation is only the start.

A single planning decision can create work for several different suppliers, and some of it keeps coming for as long as the venue trades.

Extraction and ventilation

Installed and approved before the first service.

Servicing and maintenance

Cleaning, filters and records, required for the life of the kitchen. Work that comes back every year.

Noise and acoustic testing

Checks and reports once the plant is running.

What you get

A sales brief.
Ready to work from.

Everything you need to make the call, ready to share with your team.
