Why Choose HCUK Group

We will give you expert, independent, honest advice, based on considerable experience. We offer a range of services that can be tailored to your site or case, and those services are supported by administrative, financial and HR teams.  We charge primarily on the basis that we are good at what we do, not just on the number of hours we spend doing it.  

We are...

heritage consultants, archaeological consultants and managers, planning consultants, landscape architects and townscape experts, ecologists and visualisation specialists all under one roof.

We are not...

architects, in the sense that we do not design buildings or manage construction. However, our landscape architects can prepare and specify hard and soft landscaping schemes, and we advise on design.

We do...

know the difference between heritage and townscape, which is why we have formally qualified staff in each discipline. 

We are not...

surveyors, but we do advise on repairs within our capabilities. we do not prepare schedules of works. 

We can...

submit and monitor application for planning permission, listed building consent, scheduled monument consent, and  applications, notices and appraisals. We can help discharge conditions.

We are not...

structural engineers but we can help you find one. ​​

​

We are...

a small company not a large-scale corporate outfit and we offer a bespoke service.

We can...

procure and manage archaeological fieldwork, and we can subcontract specialists where needed, including the provision of legal opinions on planning matters.

We are not...

always the fastest or the cheapest. There's a reason for that! We are good at what we do, so we are always busy. If your question is "when can you do it by?" our response is "it needs to be done properly, and both parties need to agree on the value of the exercise, not just the price." What is done well is done soon enough.

We are...

a home-working company (since 2010) that like to use technology for meetings, where possible, rather than cars and trains. 

We are not...

magicians. If you have an impossible case, we cannot help you, other than by being honest with you and offering alternative solutions where possible.

We do...

work throughout the UK, particularly in England and Wales. We work for private individuals and householders, and on larger scale developments across many sectors, including minerals, renewables, housing, leisure, retail, commercial, and infrastructure. We work mainly in the private sector, but we have public sector clients too.
