Services
ACD Projects are a multi-disciplinary practice; we are the only such practice in the country who are specialised in Animal Welfare and Veterinary Design exclusively, whilst also offering Quantity Surveying, Mechanical and Electrical Services, and Project Management, all under one roof. Our wide range of services ensures that your building project is seamlessly managed from concept to completion. This integrated approach results in a more efficient and cost-effective solution, with experts to rely on in every relevant field. Your facility will be designed to meet the specific needs of both animals and the professionals who care for them.
If you choose ACD, you can rest assured that we are firmly in your corner. Throughout your project we will communicate with you regularly. We will ensure we fully understand your needs and your hopes for your animal welfare centre or veterinary clinic design, so that we can give you the best advice based on our extensive experience.
About - ACD Projects, Veterinary Architects & Design
For over 30 years, Alex Darvill and his team at ACD Projects have been helping veterinary professionals and animal welfare charities design and build their ideal animal care facility.
Our projects have included veterinary practices, referral hospitals – including large or small animal and equine, animal husbandry, animal shelters and boarding facilities (kennels and catteries). We also provide for specialist needs such as mixed small animal centres and shelters (whether you want a rabbitry or an aviary for example), as well as universities and other educational training centres.
We create amazing buildings our clients can be proud of – each one is a flagship project for our clients, and is personal to us too.

Specialisms - ACD Projects, Veterinary Architects & Design
We specialise entirely in the design and project management of buildings for animals but it has to work for people too, and it must help you attract and cater for the needs of clients or visitors.
Delivering an exceptional experience for everyone and helping you carry out your daily tasks and routines more efficiently, is the core of a great veterinary architect or animal care building designer. We know how to make the building work for you.
If you need to accommodate radiology and imaging equipment, include isolation facilities to manage infectious patients, introduce green technology, or find a space for a state of the art hydrotherapy facility, you are in safe hands.
