Principles

ADAM Architecture’s vision is to be the leading practice specialising in classical and traditional architecture and urban design. In reaching this vision, we are committed to creating a working environment based on the following principles:

Fairness
We will work in a way which promotes equality and diversity, and which does not discriminate against any of our staff or partners.

Respect
We will work in partnership with staff and others to encourage a culture where everyone receives respect and can voice their diverse needs, knowing that they will be heard.

Honesty
We will work to ensure that our practices are transparent and open to scrutiny.

Providing opportunity
We will work towards a culture where all staff and students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Expertise and excellence
We will work to high standards to ensure our clients' design requirements are recognised and met.

Achieving our vision: taking action and getting results
The actions we take to achieve our vision are vital and are covered by ADAM Architecture’s Equal Opportunities Policy. This reflects our commitment to good practice and identifies the key issues for Adam Architecture as an employer and business. It takes into account legislative and regulatory requirements and identifies key operating principles.

Getting involved and keeping informed
People who work for and with ADAM Architecture are integral to making our vision of equality and diversity a reality. This includes:
playing an active role in equality and diversity and engagement working groups
taking part in training and awareness programmes to equip staff with the skills and knowledge they need to understand and meet the needs of colleagues and clients, reading ADAM Architecture’s Equal Opportunities Policy, participating in and promoting staff network groups that have been set up to add value to our equality and diversity practice, and making a commitment to be involved and become a diversity champion

* Under the Equality Act (2010) these are known as “protected characteristics”.

We have adopted a range of policies and procedures to support us in our quality objectives and help us maintain and improve our level of service.

These include:
Regular gathering and monitoring of customer feedback
A strict corrective and preventative action procedure
A rigorous project monitoring tool for maintaining consistency and compliance
Continuous training and development of employees
Regular quality audits of our internal processes
Measurable quality objectives which reflect our business aims
Management review of audit results, client feedback and complaints

Our internal procedures are reviewed regularly and are held in a Quality Manual which is made available to all employees.

The director of operations has ultimate responsibility for the implementation and observation of the QMS, but we take steps to ensure that all employees understand their responsibilities within the course of carrying out their work to ensure that a commitment to quality is consistently applied across the entire company.
