The Practice was formed in 1981 out of a uK wide based

Practice which was founded in 1928.

In 2005 upon the retirement of the only remaining founding

partner the company underwent a buyout by four time-

served key members of the management team, this process

also included the incorporation of the practice.

We are proactive in our approach and explore a range of

options in order to achieve the best possible design. Our

overall aim is to produce designs of the highest quality and

to ensure that where practicable costs remain within budget

and construction programmes run to schedule.

We have a continually growing list of satisfied clients, with

many of whom we have developed long term relationships.

We have successfully completed a number of projects on

a repeat business basis as a result of our performance and

the success of past commissions.

The Practice currently operates as a private limited company

out of a modern bespoke office local to the commercial

centre of the City of Cardiff.

The philosophy of the Practice is based on a personal, user

friendly service with an emphasis on technical excellence.

The technical base is headed by the four Directors who also

fulfil the role of Project Directors.

The in house design management structure is well defined

having been established for a considerable length of time

with highly motivated long term employees who have a

proven technical ability and a keen interest in the future

success of the Practice. This results in good internal team

spirit with the prime objective of Client satisfaction.

In particular the active involvement of the designated Project

Director at the conceptual stage ensures that the most

economical overall design solution is achieved and his

continued involvement throughout the project in technical

and programming aspects ensures that the initial pro-active

momentum created is carried through to the completion of

the project.

The Structure

Bingham Hall is a pro-active, commercially aware Practice

and continues to deliver the same principles in the design

and build market. In recent years we have successfully

consolidated working relationships with several local

authorities, public departments, trusts, registered social

landlords and national building contractors forming

part of design teams involved in public building, social

accommodation, healthcare and education projects secured

through both partnering and framework agreements and on

an individual project basis.

Bingham Hall is a partnering framework team member

responsible for design services for clients for several local

authorities and has been successful as part of the Welsh

Health Estates Design For Life being a supply chain partner

for civil and structural engineering consultancy services.

Most recently we have been appointed as consulting

engineers by the Syniad Development Consortium, a

consortium of three Registered Social Landlords who,

combined, aim to procure projects throughout Wales.

In addition to the normal scope of services expected of a

Consulting Civil & Structural Engineering company we can

provide traffic management and impact assessments, ground

modelling, geo-technical & geo-environmental reports and

flood studies in response to Tan 15 requirements.

Bingham Hall produces designs which are affordable,

creates safe and healthy environments, which are low

maintenance and robust, are sustainable and have low

energy in use, are innovative and flexible to change.

At the project inception, feasibility and scheme design

stages the Project Director constantly aims to achieve good

practice in sustainable design and construction wherever

possible which we consider forms an integral part of the

whole life cycle cost analysis.

This ethos is carried through the final design and

construction stages of the project influencing every aspect

of our design process. We aim to provide buildings which

are highly efficient in use and when ultimately dismantled are

recyclable.

We regularly specify recycled materials hence reducing

landfill with its associated costs. We regularly use suitable

crushed demolition material and industrial waste, such as

inert slag as filling materials.

We specify that construction materials, where practical, are

obtained from sustainable managed sources.

Sustainability

Practice Profile06

With the ever decreasing availability of ‘green field’ sites, we

have gained considerable experience in the reclamation of

‘brown field’ sites, particularly by insitu treatment methods.

The ever increasing restrictions on surface water drainage

disposal have led us to investigate alternative forms of

disposal. We have successfully used Sustainable urban

Drainage Systems/Solutions on a number of sites and

always investigate other possibilities. We have successfully

incorporated rainwater harvesting systems into our designs

on a number of recent schools projects.

Customers

Bingham Hall continues to actively develop mutually

beneficial relationships with all those with whom we do

business. We regularly review our business processes

with a view to improving quality and productivity, thereby

enhancing our ability to create value, whilst at the same time

working to achieve the aspirations of sustainable building

designs.

In support of this, all Binghall Hall staff are encouraged to

innovate in their design in the pursuit of a continual drive for

technical excellence.
