Designing schemes for safety and security

A perceived sense of security and safety is undeniably essential to enabling sustainable and successful schemes. The fear of crime or perceived threat to physical safety can reduce the overall productivity and wellbeing of the scheme’s occupants. All schemes, whether residential or commercial, should have the appropriate planning, design and specifications to enable a physically secure environment. 

ADW Developments has substantial expertise in helping clients design their schemes in a manner that mitigates identifiable security risks and feature proactive security measures thus improving the scheme’s security and safety outcomes. Our associate experts are certified to carry out the BREEAM-approved security risk management standard, SABRE. This standard offers an exemplary security label and quantifiable reduction in security risks.

Our approach to security is to conduct a Security Needs Assessment study by an accredited, suitably qualified security specialist. This assessment features a review of local crime statistics, as well as a visual audit of the site surroundings, and finally a review of the current design proposals. Recommendations are then given to the design team to help them mitigate any safety and security issues which have been identified.
