PTI actively supports and encourages Environmental and Social Sustainability programmes that promote care for the environment and care for the occupants and users of the building.

In the process we design buildings that :

• encourage care for the environment
• encourage the enjoyment of nature
• encourage the protection of local endangered species and eco-systems
• utilize passive and active design and technologies to minimize the requirements for powered heating and cooling
• provide smart and cost-effective methods of minimizing energy requirements
• use environmentally sustainable materials
• encourage biodiversity
• encourage recycling
• encourage a sense of community : to create a social and support infrastructure for its occupants
• promote health and well-being on both an individual and group basis ~ through the facilities it provides and the activities it can offer
• support the lifestyle of the area and its local community
• promote a sense of local pride in its unique attractions and other pleasures

PTI has been working in this area for the last 15 years. Our Peppers Perth Hotel (see separate entry) was built substantially using these techniques and we have been working with these technologies for a range of other projects, both low scale and high-rise buildings.

These developing construction techniques offer particular advantages for tourism and accommodation buildings being their repetition and small spans.

As such we utilise these both for the building’s facade systems as well as for its componentry such as for bathrooms, kitchens and other interior fit out items.

This is used to communicate and develop the detail of designs and material selections with our Clients, as well as to communicate with everyone else associated with the project, so as to assist everyone to understand and visualise what we are looking to achieve. We also utilise these services to assist our Clients to present their projects to the market.

When higher resolution images and graphics are required, we work with a range of specialist companies to meet your quality and budgetary requirements.

As such we provide:

• Photomontage and 3D Views for both exterior and interior views
• Shadow Diagrams for Authority Approvals
• View Analysis images
• Presentation Plans and documents forming part of a Sales brochure or Marketing documents.
• Ongoing project images to assist with detailed design issues and materials selections for your project and to present your project to others as required.

This is to ensure we achieve the overall look, feel and level of operational efficiency and practicality our Client’s are looking to achieve.

In this regard :

• We source many products direct from overseas suppliers through our experience
• We are able to work within budget constraints from the low-cost to the luxury
