What RG+P does

RG+P (legal entity: rg+p Ltd, registered in England and Wales) is a private, multi-disciplinary architectural practice founded in 1981 and headquartered in Leicester, with additional studios in London and Birmingham. The firm operates across three offices serving the UK residential, commercial, community, education, and mixed-use development sectors, with 51-100 employees and 45 years of continuous operation in Leicester as of 2026.

Its service offering spans the full design-to-delivery lifecycle: architectural design, masterplanning, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design, planning consultancy, visualisation, quantity surveying, project management, and principal designer roles. Notable technical specialisms include award-winning Passivhaus design (Saffron Heath, the UK's largest affordable Passivhaus scheme, 68 homes) and placemaking/masterplanning applied to projects ranging from approximately £2m (Redbridge Primary School extension) to £150m (Connaught Square/Rivercross mixed-use regeneration). Revenue is earned through professional fees (typically a percentage of construction value) secured via competitive tendering, direct client engagement, and repeat business from housing associations, local authorities, developers, and educational institutions. Client delivery is supported by ISO 9001/14001, RIBA, RICS, RTPI, Constructionline, and Investors in People accreditations.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with marketing executed through project portfolio visibility, professional-body memberships, and selective industry-competition participation (including international competitions such as TabFab in Latvia). The firm has no disclosed external investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity; ownership is independent and internal succession is signalled by the 2026 board promotion of Design Director Ben Walton and ten staff promotions in November 2025.
