Introducing Fulcrum
Pioneers of sustainability
Fulcrum is a forward-thinking team of building service engineers and sustainability consultants committed to developing environmentally balanced and economically viable solutions that work in the real world.
Established in 1980, we’ve spent over 25 years shaping the sustainability agenda. Today our expertise is sought to influence everything from single developments to whole communities and cities, extending from our own doorstep to across the world.
Adopting a 'whole of life' approach, our mission is to help develop outstanding low-impact built environments that combine comfort, function and beauty whilst remaining efficient, cost effective and future-proof.
"... as engineers, Ford and his team are very focused on practicality and deliverability of solutions while keeping things as simple as possible ... what would happen to sustainable engineering design if more engineering firms hired outside their discipline and brought on board scientists of various stripes? I'm guessing that the field would rocket in importance and influence." Green Building Trends, Europe.
