Pre - Planning Services

At Steven Hunt & Associates, we support clients from the very earliest stages of a project — helping shape developments that are viable, compliant, and designed for long-term success. Our early involvement can reduce planning risks, improve design outcomes, and save time and cost down the line.

Our pre-planning services include:

  • Feasibility studies to assess project viability from an M&E perspective

  • Early-stage M&E consultancy to inform massing, layout, and servicing strategies

  • Sustainability assessments to support BREEAM targets, energy strategy, and planning conditions

  • Thermal modelling and dynamic simulation to test comfort, energy use, and system performance

  • Regulatory compliance advice (Part L, Building Regulations, local planning policy)

  • Collaborative design input to support planning applications and engagement with architects

  • Utilities and infrastructure assessments to flag constraints and opportunities early

Our input helps identify risks and opportunities before formal planning begins — shaping more confident, buildable, and future-proof schemes.
