Whilst buildings are fundamentally inflexible, many of them are more adaptable than might be imagined, and can be made more so if certain planning rules are followed.

The past week has delivered a week like no other for those of us concerned with planning and delivering great projects.

RDT Pacific has been asked for our opinion on a range of aspects by a large number of our clients and colleagues looking for a way forward.

Between us we are dealing with projects at all stages, from the proverbial ‘twinkle in someone’s eye’, through planning, construction, completion & operationalising to operation of the asset for long-term benefit.
