About ALM
Clients deal directly with the people defining the brief, developing the design and carrying it through delivery.
Why ALM is structured this way
Building-envelope work becomes fragile when commercial scope, technical design and site decisions are split between people who never see the whole package.
ALM is deliberately small and senior-led, keeping responsibility close to the detail and the project team close to the people making the technical decisions.
Stay close to the detail.How ALM works
Answer the difficult questions.
Carry the decision through.
Experience behind the practice
Façade design experience on the dining, library and sixth-form centre, including its patterned metal envelope. The completed project received a 2026 RIBA London Award.
See current work and relevant experienceThe directors
Over 11 years across façade design, glazing, curtain wall, cladding, roofing, SFS and passive-fire coordination. Ben's structural-engineering and design-management background keeps the design basis, calculations, drawings and Gateway evidence connected from concept through construction.
Over 30 years across specialist construction, roofing, cladding and external-envelope delivery. Adam coordinates resources, programmes, surveys and delivery interfaces, bringing long-standing site sequencing and buildability experience into the design conversation.
What that means in practice
Start with the commercial assumptions, available information and named ownership of each decision.
Resolve the difficult work where structure, façade, fire, weathering and specialist packages meet.
Keep current drawings, evidence, queries and site decisions connected through controlled issue and close-out.
