Enabling introduction

The A+DS Enabling Programme aims to provide support and advice to a wide range of public and charitable organisations. The main focus of work is assisting people who are charged with delivering or procuring new facilities or buildings and those involved in setting the policy context for development. 

Enabling involvement will be at the outset of the design and development process, often prior to the appointment of a design team, consultants or a developer.  The programme's work extends to single buildings, masterplans and strategic advice about how to embed design into development projects.
