Who we work with, and how we work
Commercial clients
We have experience working with many types of property developer and investor, from individuals and companies delivering small schemes up to 5 or 10 houses, to companies such as Landsec delivering city-scale masterplans. Even among this group of clients there are different priorities, budgets, and timescales to understand, and it is a priority for us to find the best way of working to suit our client’s needs.
Third-sector clients
We work with a lot of charities and organisations which are neither private companies nor public sector. We find these clients very interesting because to deliver a successful project we need to really understand their purpose as an organisation and ensure that our approach is aligned with their aims and values. In 2020 we retro-fitted the office of CABE (Chartered Association of Building Engineers) to help them in their journey to become a net-zero carbon organisation and we are keen to help others who have a similar goal. We have also worked for organisations such as RINA (Royal Institute of Naval Architects), PDSA (People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals), Centre for Better Health, WWT (Wildfowl & Wetland Trust) and ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England). We can help both with improving existing properties as well as feasibility studies and planning applications where the owner may be looking to dispose of the site and is seeking to optimise value.
We are always happy to meet on site for a chat, without any obligation, so please feel free to get in touch.
We work for a range of clients, including individuals, companies, property developers, and third-sector organisations such as charities and institutions.
Because we have worked with many types of organisation we have learnt that their priorities are often very different, and a key part of a successful project is in understanding the client's values and purpose early in the process.
Dr Gavin Dunn, Chief Executive of CABE
“We selected Stagg Architects after a competitive interview process in which they demonstrated that they best understood the needs and ambitions of our organisation. CABE are a professional membership body in the construction industry and so it was vital that the architect would be keen to collaborate, embrace our agenda, and help deliver the project on time and budget.
Ben Stagg personally led the project and worked with us closely to navigate the various challenges we encountered. The result is a massively improved workspace for our staff and members; better ventilated, better insulated, brighter, lighter, healthier, fully accessible and more comfortable, as well as consuming far less energy. It is now a place to which we are proud to invite our guests and demonstrated first-hand the ways we can use simple technologies to make big improvements to existing buildings and help address the climate emergency.”
“Ben researched and wrote a Net Zero Design Guide for Village Halls on our behalf. His dedication to the project and the expertise he brought to the table was second to none. It would not have been possible to produce such a comprehensive and well-informed resource without his support. We would highly recommend Ben to colleagues in the community and voluntary sector.”
