‘Malcolm Payne Group is a practice that is focussed on making a positive contribution to the historic environment. Our work encompasses the careful restoration of listed buildings and the sensitive integration of new development into conservation areas. We take a creative approach to accommodating new uses in redundant buildings where such uses would achieve their conservation and provide them with a sustainable future.’
HESPR BACKGROUND
Quality assurance for HESPR listing is strictly controlled through the employment a Full IHBC member – the ‘Designated Service Adviser’ (DSA) – in a role that allows them to take professional responsibility for the service standards offered to clients. This means that the IHBC can respond to the complex diversity of disciplines and practice areas offered by our HESPR-listed practices and businesses, as we ensure that our members are in a reasonable position to offer their assurance of the quality of the conservation services. As such the DSA should be the first ‘port of call’ for any concerns over work carried out by a HESPR company. You can find the ‘Designated Service Adviser’ (DSA) listed on the dedicated HESPR business web page and on the list of accredited practitioners linked from the IHBC’s Home Page.’
