AHP Architects & Surveyors

What AHP Architects & Surveyors does

AHP Architects & Surveyors Ltd is a UK-based, privately held architectural and building surveying practice operating from two studios in Sevenoaks (Kent) and Lichfield (Staffordshire), with an employee-ownership (Owner Employee Trust) structure established following a 2019 management restructure. The firm provides an integrated suite of services spanning architecture, project management, building surveying, multi-discipline design coordination, Building Information Modelling (BIM), feasibility studies and — increasingly — PAS 2035-compliant energy efficiency and decarbonisation retrofit design. Its core technical toolkit is built on BIM and REVIT with 3D visualisation for client-facing design review; the practice collaborates with external structural, MEP, acoustics and quantity surveyors on larger commissions.

The firm's revenue model is professional services fee-based, with project-by-project tenders and framework-driven public sector procurement as the primary go-to-market. Clients are split across healthcare (NHS Trusts and pathology providers including Chesterfield Royal, Whittington Health, Wexham Park, Broomfield, Oxleas, Northwick Park, Central Middlesex and Health Services Laboratories), education (schools and colleges, with framework access via the Crescent Purchasing Consortium), residential development (repeat mandates with Vistry Group and Bellway Homes), social housing retrofit (Fortem, Equans on SHDF-funded programmes), and commercial/leisure (Centrica, Kent County Showground). Distribution is overwhelmingly sales-led through direct client appointments, competitive tender, and approved supplier status on the Pagabo Professional Services in Construction and Premises 2024 Framework (including Lot 6 Decarbonisation Retrofit for Dwellings) and the CPC Framework. Marketing is modest — a Wix-built website, LinkedIn, Facebook, careers fairs and award-driven PR — reflecting a relationship-driven B2B services model rather than a demand-generation model.

Broad incumbents

• Stride Treglown: Larger, multi-office UK architectural practice with deep healthcare, education, and residential portfolios. Competes with AHP for NHS framework commissions but at materially larger scale and broader geographic coverage.

Direct peers

• PRP Architects: Long-established UK architectural practice with a particularly strong healthcare and residential portfolio. Directly comparable to AHP in NHS/clinical-environment and large-scale residential work, though PRP operates at meaningfully larger scale and a multi-office London base.

• MJP Architects: UK architectural firm with significant NHS healthcare and transport-sector specialism. Direct overlap in healthcare estate design and framework-based public-sector delivery comparable to AHP.
• Proctor & Matthews Architects: UK practice with strong residential and masterplanning credentials for major housebuilders. Comparable to AHP in delivering technical design packages for volume developers like Vistry and Bellway.
• Corstorphine & Wright: Mid-sized UK architectural firm with a sector mix spanning healthcare, education, residential, and commercial — closely mirroring AHP's multi-disciplinary vertical coverage. Comparable in headcount band and project scale.
• Pollard Thomas Edwards (PTE): UK architectural practice with a strong housing, public sector, and retrofit focus. Comparable to AHP in social housing and residential development work, including decarbonisation and refurbishment programmes for housing associations and local authorities.
