OUR SERVICES

Do you want a glimpse, or do you need to understand the cause?

EBD employ a wide range of unique data gathering tools, tailored to the level of detailed information required by our clients. Our methods include:  literature reviews, case studies, activity mapping, and an ethnographic approach to workshops and on-line discussions.

  • If you need a detailed insight into space-utilisation, our digitally generated, Real-Time Activity Mapping (RTAM) will provide the information that you need.
  • Our comprehensive literature reviews identify all that is known* about a required topic, illustrated by up-to-date, local and international case studies.
  • We provide independent, expert, design review services, for government and commercial clients, where probity is critical.
  • We produce unbiased, post-occupancy analysis of completed design projects, to ascertain the effectiveness of the design, inform future modifications, and develop a detailed brief for larger projects.

* academic and professional research that has moved beyond theory, into tested application; often refereed to as Action Research.
