Access, gates and boundaries
Review pedestrian and vehicle entrances, gates, fencing, railings and access control. Consider everyday movement, deliveries, emergency access, accessible routes and interfaces with adjoining land and roads.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS · MIXED-USE SCHEMES · DEVELOPMENT TEAMS
Build safer places into your commercial development.
For commercial sites, business premises and mixed-use developments, Safer Place 360 helps developers connect security, access and the public realm with a practical plan for delivery and long-term management.
Discuss your siteTHE CHALLENGE
Start with the place.
Security decisions affect how people arrive, move around and use a development after handover. Early coordination between the developer, architect, landscape designer, highways and relevant specialists can help identify gaps, compare options and reduce avoidable changes later in the project. We can support an early design review, a scheme already on site or improvements following occupation.
WHAT THE REVIEW COVERS
Evidence before intervention.
Lighting and illuminated bollards
Consider low-level bollards with integrated lighting for paths, entrances, landscaped areas and parking. Coordinate them with the wider lighting plan, sightlines, planting, power supply and maintenance.
Parking, shared spaces and natural surveillance
Look at overlooked routes, parking courts, cycle and bin storage, landscaping and communal spaces. Identify opportunities to improve visibility and reduce unwanted access or misuse.
Specifications and delivery coordination
Turn agreed priorities into a defined scope for gates, fencing, CCTV, lighting and environmental works. Help obtain comparable specialist quotations and align installation with the wider construction programme.
Stakeholders and design coordination
Help bring the developer, design team, managing agent and relevant council or police design advisers together. Record responsibilities and route technical decisions and any necessary approvals to the appropriate specialists.
Handover and ongoing management
Plan for access arrangements, maintenance ownership, inspection information and resident guidance. Review completed improvements and agree how issues will be reported and followed up after occupation.
FROM FINDINGS TO ACTION
A plan you can commission.
A coordinated set of security and environmental priorities, a costed route to delivery and clear responsibilities for the next stage. Commission a focused review or support across design, procurement, installation and handover to suit your scheme.
Each project is quoted to an agreed scope. We confirm fees before work begins. Materials and installation are quoted separately by suppliers.
Review the scheme
Share the site, drawings, development stage and priorities. Agree a focused review of the proposed layout or an existing problem location.
Coordinate and cost the options
Develop a prioritised plan with your team, identify specialist input and approvals, and help translate the agreed approach into specifications and supplier quotations.
Support delivery and handover
Choose support for supplier coordination, progress reviews and completion checks. Bring operating and maintenance responsibilities into the handover plan.
