Morgan Lovell has launched a new, end-to-end sustainable office design and fit out service, making it simple and cost effective for both private and public sector organisations to create energy efficient, low carbon offices to help combat climate change.

The service begins with consultancy. Morgan Lovell's in-house environmental experts will use surveys and appraisals to work out exactly what needs to be done to bring your office up to government guidelines and other recognised ratings systems.

Sustainability is built into the designs - maximising natural light and air, minimising energy use and sourcing sustainable materials, furniture and fittings. The entire fit out can be CarbonNeutral^®, and materials are sorted for recycling on site.

Going sustainable: our checklist to get you started

Not sure where to start? We've put together a sustainable office design checklist to show you, step-by-step, each of the different things to consider when creating a sustainable office.

The checklist tells you what you need to think about before work begins, during the design, during the build – and even for years after you've moved in. It takes you through everything from being clear about your vision and writing up a brief, to choosing the right furniture, fixtures and fittings and ensuring environmental best practice on site.

The checklist can help you make sure no important issues or details get overlooked. It's designed to help you do everything from assessing your office, to checking your contractors' credentials.
