DMA

DMA design buildings that are beautiful, functional and environmentally responsible.

Every project is a thoughtful response to the client’s brief, making the most of their site and budget whilst minimising environmental impacts. We have a 100% track record in gaining planning permissions with many of our projects on constrained urban sites in sensitive locations. We design at all scales, creating solutions for entire neighbourhoods through to the design of bespoke fixtures and fittings and, as we’re thinking about buildability from the start, our proposals are not only elegant, but realistic.

DMA deliver the most complicated of projects using our expertise in technical design.

Our digital design techniques underpin this and we are recognised as leaders in their use. Whether we’re re-using existing buildings or developing new ones, our approach brings precision and certainty of outcomes at every stage. With in-house specialists in sustainability, conservation, retrofit, interior design, specifications and the Principal Designer roles, we provide a comprehensive set of services under one roof. We can also offer a multi-disciplinary team based on trusted relationships and robust selection and management.

DMA innovate because we believe that good design and practice should look to the future.

Our R&D team are continually researching and testing new techniques to improve the way that we work and to offer new services to our clients. Workstreams include BIM and digital design, modern methods of construction, sustainability, specifications and compliance, including all the building safety requirements. As a result, we regularly share our experience and expertise with government and professional bodies, other consultants and contractors, both in the UK and abroad.

DMA collaborate for better outcomes and we are known for our inclusive approach.

We enjoy strong partnerships with our clients and these long-term relationships allow us to tailor services and pro-actively create new ones to achieve their goals. Our open approach with the design team, stakeholders and communities builds trust, so projects benefit from everyone’s expertise. This leads to excellent levels of client satisfaction and repeat business accounts for over 80% of our work.
