The Practice

BBF Fielding Limited is the product of a merger of Maurice Fielding Associates and BBF Consultancy Group that took place in 2000. The Company can trace its origins back to 1961 when the founder, Maurice L. Fielding, formed his practice in Woking.

The firm has traded continuously since that date and it has evolved into its current establishment. The Company Directors are Nigel Oliver and Will Park.  A team of qualified architects, technologist and administrative staff support the directors.

The full range of professional services offered by the practice is always tailored to suit the individual needs of the client. From initial appraisals to the provision of full management services, we can advise on design, procurement, cost control and contract administration.

Due to the variety of past and present projects in its portfolio BBF Fielding is proud to call itself a “general practice”. Examples of our work are shown in the Projects section of this website

The Practice is accredited under ISO 9001 and was one of the first architectural practices in the country to achieve accreditation in 1989.

The established Quality Assurance Scheme and Programme is implemented and maintained throughout the Practice, each procedure, where necessary, being reviewed to improve the performance of the practice.

The practice is committed to continual improvement of the Quality Management System and the services provided.

The practice prides itself in being at the forefront of those embracing new technologies and sustainable construction methods.
