Consultation & Social Value

ECE Impact

At ECE, we’re always looking for ways to add real value to the projects we work on – helping our clients navigate challenges, unlock opportunities, and deliver great places.

We know that early, meaningful engagement leads to smoother planning approvals, fewer delays, and stronger community support. But more than that, it helps shape developments that people feel part of – creating places that are not only commercially successful but also stand the test of time.

ECE Impact is built on what we do best – strategic advice, creative solutions, and dependable delivery. We bring the same practical, commercially grounded approach to consultation and social value that we bring to every stage of a project. This isn’t about adding complexity – it’s about making engagement work in a way that’s useful, efficient, and delivers results.

Our approach goes beyond just consultation. We aim to listen, discuss, and as far as possible ensure the designs reflect their needs and aspirations. Working with ECE Impact means unlocking real economic, social, and environmental benefits that create stronger, more successful outcomes for your project. We focus on building lasting partnerships that lead to smoother processes, fewer costly revisions, and better overall results.

For you. For the community. For the project.
