Hassle free BNG solutions
You could Google around and contact different suppliers: it’s easy enough, but time-consuming.
Maybe call a national network: one point of contact, but limited to their supply and prices.
There are online marketplaces: but who are you going to talk to if there’s an issue?
Help your client plan their budget and find suitable biodiversity units when they need them.
BNG is one of the considerations your project team needs to account for as a design progresses. If off-site units are required, understanding their likely cost can make the client conversation easier.
Biodiversity Units UK provides pricing tools, supplier options and a named contact to help you move from an early estimate towards procurement.

- Charles Dunn, Director, Urbana
"Sam and Nick are fantastic, they are helpful, the prices are competitive, and they are always a pleasure to deal with."
