CES is unique within the industry offering both bespoke lighting design / consultancy and specialist installation services. This allows CES to act as a traditional lighting design consultant or to offer a design & build package.
The combination of specialist skills ensures that CES designs are effective and professional, taking into consideration all the details essential to an architecturally sensitive and discreet installation.
Each place of worship/culture/leisure has individual requirements which is why each design is tailor-made to meet the client’s specific needs in terms of the design process, available budget as well as the on-going operational and maintenance requirements.
CES regularly prepare Feasibility Reports for clients and Technical Reports for governing/approval bodies such as local authorities, Historic England, DAC, HCC, to name a few.

A Full Design Specification is most suited to projects that require approval from an external body or for those wishing to issue the design for competitive tendering.
CES designs generally follow the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Plan of Work 2013 to deliver a complete design. This methodology incorporates several site meetings during the design phases, enabling both CES and the client to discuss the proposed design and exchange feedback.
The design will factor in all aspects of the lighting requirements instructed by the client. The final submitted product will be in two parts:
