Secure Architectural & Environmental Design

NSG Security Consultants are acknowledged to be one of the few qualified independent consultancies offering a secure architectural and environmental design service.

Working from the initial design phase through to completion, with architects, planners, developers and occupants, NSG is able is offer advice on Secure Architectural and Environmental Design by applying the proven concept of “Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.” (It is now widely acknowledged that the built environment can influence criminal behaviour).

Secured By Design

Whilst most security consultants subscribe to the concept of ‘Secured by Design’, few understand the inherent benefits to be derived. Our principal consultant is a Home Office qualified Architectural Liaison Officer, and we practice and implement the concept throughout our design work.

We can also demonstrate that the introduction of good security through the application of these principles does not adversely affect aesthetically pleasing architectural design detail.

Furthermore with Government guidelines recommending that consideration be given to building security at the planning application stage, NSG can assist with the successful submission of planning applications.

NSG Security Consultants are qualified to submit applications for the Association of Chief Police Officers ‘Secured by Design’ award in all categories, including commercial, residential, refurbishment and car parks.
