Planning and design collaboration that saves time and money

With a reputation for our specialised, end-to-end solutions, we recently announced not only a rebrand of Beyond Ink (now Fore Design) but also a focused and formalised town planning consulting service for clients and collaborators, Flex Planning.

One thing that sets Flex apart is our close collaboration with Fore Design. Both the Fore and Flex teams have a wealth of experience across a wide range of sectors and scales of development. Our combined talents and insight means we can advise on the best way to maximise each site’s unique potential, this helps us:

• Detect potential challenges early in the process
• Streamline our approach – allowing us to be nimble in our response to authorities and design changes
• Reduce delays – tackling complexities as they arise
• Maximise site potential – combining planning insight with design expertise.

If you already have an architectural team in place, we are equally skilled at working alongside external partners. Visit the Fore Design website for more.
