Consultancy Overview

Technical Support Across the Project Journey

A good project depends on good information. Consultancy at NATHAN ASSOCIATES covers the practical and technical aspects around construction - understanding the ground, valuing property, preparing plans and designs, and coordinating the work from planning through to execution.

Whether you are at the very beginning of an idea or already mid-project, our consultancy support helps clarify what is needed and keeps the different parts of your project working together. The scope below covers all 10 consultancy services, grouped by the stage of the project they support.

What We Provide

Consultancy Service Scope

Grouped by the stage of the project each service supports. Every service below is explained in plain language, with the typical reason a client needs it.

Soil test methods illustrated: plate load, standard penetration and cone penetration testing

Soil Test (SPT, ERT, CBT, Plate Load)

Soil testing establishes the condition of the ground your structure will sit on, using the listed methods - Standard Penetration Test, Electrical Resistivity Tomography, Cross Borehole Test and Plate Load Test - as appropriate to the site and the structure.

What it covers

  • Test or investigation results with an interpretation
  • Inputs that can be used for design and planning
  • A record of what was assessed and where

Typical use: Before construction begins, and whenever the soil type or bearing capacity affects the foundation, the depth of excavation or the design itself.

Ground Water Survey

Investigates water availability and the subsurface water conditions at a site, including the water table and the quality indications relevant to the project.

What it covers

  • Test or investigation results with an interpretation
  • Inputs that can be used for design and planning
  • A record of what was assessed and where

Typical use: Water sourcing decisions, drainage and basement planning, and assessing how water will affect excavation and construction.

Coordinated BIM model of a building services and structure shown digitally

BIM Model & Design

Building Information Modelling organises design information into a coordinated digital model, so architectural, structural and service information can be reviewed together instead of in isolation.

What it covers

  • A coordinated model or map that others can work from
  • Consistent data across drawings, schedules and site
  • A clearer basis for review, approval and execution

Typical use: Projects where several teams need to work from the same design data, and clash review before construction starts.

Infographic of digital elevation, terrain and surface models used for GIS and DTM design

GIS Design & DTM Design

Geographic Information System design and Digital Terrain Model design place survey and site data in a mapped, spatial format - useful for understanding a site, its surroundings and its levels across an area rather than a single plot.

What it covers

  • A coordinated model or map that others can work from
  • Consistent data across drawings, schedules and site
  • A clearer basis for review, approval and execution

Typical use: Area-level planning, large sites and layouts, feasibility studies and any work where terrain and location need to be reviewed together.
