Scaffolding design company Independent Design House (IDH), is branching out into Housing Design with a “one-stop-shop” division.
The engineering design consultancy based in the UK, Middle East, and Poland, is following a prosperous 2021 with the launch of the new division: IDH Housing Design.
The firm which is based in the UK, Middle East, and Poland is offering, an end-to-end consultancy for all housing design requirements.
It will be led by newly appointed associate director, Martin Czerniuk, a volume housing design expert based in their new IDH Northampton office.
Czerniuk brings a wealth of residential expertise to the role, with a 35-year career in volume home building, having worked for major housebuilders including Taylor Wimpey and Bovis.
The business says IDH Housing Design will be a multi-disciplinary offering, starting with pre-construction, and covering the entire process. Services include providing site layout design for land viability; through formal planning; technical; procurement and production enabling stages to final sales, working with volume housebuilders and developers.
The move comes at a time when demand for houses has hit an all-time high, according to January 2022 figures from Rightmove.
Ian Fernandes-Johnson, managing director of IDH, comments: “No one can deny the last two years have been challenging in construction, but we’ve started the year positively and are incredibly excited to launch IDH Housing Design.
“We’ve been increasingly involved in permanent works and, having supported on residential projects in 2021, this is a natural next step. The team are ready to support Martin as he builds the division, and we will fully benefit from his in-depth knowledge of volume housing design. With further expansion on the cards, 2022 has started well.”
Czerniuk adds; “I am so pleased to join Independent Design House and head up IDH Housing Design from my Northampton office. With considerable resources and my own experience with key housebuilding companies of some 35 years, we’ve got a great base to build from and are already discussing our first projects.
“IDH’s established and expanding multi-disciplinary consultancy is already a market leader in structural and civil engineering design and we aim to become the one-stop-shop consultancy for all housing design.”
