GIS, mapping & spatial intelligence
Make geography and project information easier to explore, compare and act on through interactive maps and spatial applications.
Handover
Structured spatial data, source references and documented map behaviour.

GIS & spatial
Places, layers and source evidence connected at the right scale.
Who this is for
A readable connection between the location, its records and the evidence behind the displayed information.
For place, property, planning and research teams turning spatial records into inspectable maps and useful experiences.
Useful starting material
- Geospatial files and their provenance
- Area, scales and user decisions
- Imagery licences and sensitive locations
- Update and stewardship responsibilities

Choose the outcome. Define the system.
The practice in delivery
From starting material to operating ownership.
Establish the spatial evidence
Review coordinate systems, scales, survey precision, licences and source dates. Determine which information can be displayed and which needs restricted access.
Connect layers and decisions
Design the map, selection behaviour, feature records and contextual views around the questions the user needs to answer. Keep concept and authoritative information distinct.
Validate and define stewardship
Check alignment, feature references, mobile interaction and source visibility. Agree update ownership and the limits of the spatial interpretation before handover.
Selected evidence / Stated maturity
Inspect the work behind the practice.

Inspect the project ↗Project evidence demonstrates the stated experience, not an awarded public contract, measured business result or certification of a future commissioned system.
Can maps combine different sources and scales?
We review coordinate systems, data licences, provenance and update responsibilities before connecting layers. Survey accuracy, planning status and ownership are not inferred from a map or a concept model.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes, where access and integration are authorised. We first establish ownership, documentation, dependencies and the boundaries of any replacement or connection. A commission does not require abandoning a system that already works.
How do we agree the first release?
We prioritise complete user tasks rather than an arbitrary feature count. Scope, exclusions, dependencies and acceptance scenarios are agreed before implementation, with review points for changes.
How are security and personal data handled?
We identify data owners, information categories and permitted actions during discovery. Controls, retention, specialist assurance and any data-processing responsibilities are scoped against the actual service. A studio credential does not certify your future system.
What happens after handover?
Documentation, access ownership, training and operating responsibilities are agreed before release. Maintenance, incident coverage and further development have an explicit scope; they are not assumed to be unlimited.
A clear decision trail
Scope, assumptions, dependencies and changes recorded against the brief.
Evidence before acceptance
User journeys, permissions, failure conditions and operating requirements reviewed before release.
Ownership beyond launch
Source, documentation, training and recovery responsibilities agreed as part of handover.
