Chris Britton Consultancy offers a range of services at all stages of the data life cycle, from strategy, specification and procurement of systems through to analysis including modelling, reporting and auditing. Using innovative system tools we can support the design, specification, procurement, implementation and operation of integrated asset and pavement management systems i.e. whole lifecycle modelling. These services can be tailored to meet the individual needs of local authorities or other organisations.

We believe that by working in partnership we can enable highway authorities to meet the challenges and realise the benefits of the effective use of data and systems implementation to maximise the value of investments. We continue to be involved with national pavement management systems (PCIS), UKPMS and HA asset management systems, and also manage and audit client records.
