Matt is an experienced Architectural Technologist with expertise gained across multiple sectors of the industry and extensive knowledge of the residential sector in particular.

BoonBrown are pleased to announce that we now offer a combined Architectural and SAP assessment service, designed to simplify your project journey and deliver better outcomes from start to finish.

When planning new residential developments, clients often juggle multiple consultants—Architects, Planners, Assessors, and contractors. Whilst each division of expertise is necessary it can also contribute to complexity, delays, and sometimes inadequate communication and sharing of information.

That’s why integrating SAP assessment services directly with Architectural design isn’t just a smart move – It provides a strategic advantage.

The Benefit of Early Engagement

Whether SAP services are delivered by BoonBrown or by an external consultant, the key message is timing. The earlier the SAP Assessor is involved, the more they can contribute to:

  • Optimising design performance
  • Achieving compliance without redesign
  • Agreeing a design approach from the offset

This is true of many disciplines—energy, drainage, structural, or planning consultants—and reinforces our belief in the value of early collaboration across the whole project team.

By appointing SAP at the same time as Architectural Design the sooner BoonBrown can begin the coordination process between the two disciplines to deliver a project.

How Our Combined Service Adds Value

When clients choose to appoint BoonBrown for both architectural design and SAP assessments, they gain added efficiencies that come from tight coordination between disciplines:

  1. Aligned Design and Energy Strategy

With SAP and architectural teams working side by side, we’re able to model energy performance as the design develops—ensuring that creative intent and energy compliance are aligned from the outset.

  1. Simplified Communication

Having both services under one roof means clients benefit from a single point of contact, faster decisions, and reduced back-and-forth between separate consultants.

  1. Integrated Documentation

Our internal workflows allow for quicker production of the compliance documentation needed for planning and Building Control, with fewer delays or gaps.

In Summary

At BoonBrown, we’re proud to deliver projects with strong oversight and technical precision—whether we provide full SAP services or collaborate with external consultants.

However, when clients choose our integrated architecture and SAP service, they benefit from:

  • Streamlined communication and coordination
  • Consistent energy and design strategies
  • Faster turnaround on compliance deliverables
  • Simpler project management from start to finish
