Professional services for construction planning

Bringing together the heritage and ground engineering expertise of White Horse Contractors with the sports and placemaking delivery capability of S&C Slatter, The Slatter Group provides integrated Professional Services that strengthen design intent and improve delivery certainty across complex external works.

For sports projects, we contribute structured insight at masterplanning stage — aligning ambition with budget, programme and performance requirements. Across commercial and public realm schemes, our support is more targeted and strategic, focusing on detailed design development, programme coordination, cost planning and the discharge of planning conditions.

Working collaboratively with clients, consultants and key stakeholders, we reduce risk early — ensuring proposals are practical, compliant and capable of being delivered safely, efficiently and in line with environmental and biodiversity objectives.
