DESIGN AND PLANNING

Get in contact

You don’t just design a traffic plan. You need insight, local knowledge, and real expertise. At BUKO Traffic & Safety, we design safe, efficient traffic schemes that meet the needs of your project and everyone affected by it. We consider your objectives and also factor in the local authority, highways teams, emergency services, and the public.

PLANNING IT RIGHT FROM THE START

At BUKO Traffic & Safety, great traffic management starts with smart, site-specific design. We offer a complete consultancy, surveying and planning service, whether as part of a full delivery or as a standalone support package.

Our experienced surveyors and designers assess every detail, liaise with highways authorities, and produce clear, accurate plans that meet all legal and operational requirements. With thousands of sites under our belt each year, we know how to design traffic schemes that flow safely, work efficiently, and get approved quickly.

SURVEYS THAT GET IT RIGHT FIRST TIME

We provide desktop, on-site and client-led surveys depending on the scale and complexity of your scheme. Our desktop surveys use mapping tools and UK-wide local knowledge to provide quick turnarounds for simpler sites. For more technical or high-profile locations, we send trained surveyors to site to assess all conditions — from pinch points to pedestrian flows. We also work from client-supplied surveys when required, using our sector experience to interpret third-party formats. Our aim is simple: understand the detail, remove the guesswork, and design the safest, most efficient setup.

FAST, ACCURATE QUOTING

Using the data from our surveys, we offer expert advice and precise pricing for your traffic management needs. Our REPS system includes permit pricing from every local authority in the UK, allowing us to build accurate, itemised quotes fast. We know time is critical, especially when working to tight client or authority deadlines — so we return quotes quickly, clearly, and in plain English. We aim to keep costs as low and transparent as possible, and get it right first time.

INDUSTRY-LEADING CAD DESIGN

Our in-house design team produces thousands of traffic management plans each year using the latest CAD software. In 2023 alone, we delivered over 16,000 plans across traffic and event management — with over 98% requiring no amendments. Plans are scaled, compliant with Chapter 8, and reviewed by our compliance team to ensure every update to regulations is applied consistently. We prioritise clarity, legibility and real-world usability — so what you see on paper works just as well on the road.

TAILORED TO YOUR PROJECT

We allocate dedicated designers to key clients, allowing them to build in-depth knowledge of the projects and planning styles. This speeds up plan delivery and increases accuracy across repeated work. For large, phased schemes, our team integrates signage, pedestrian routing and site access across every stage. For tight or complex sites, we include Swept Path Analysis to ensure cranes, lorries and articulated vehicles can manoeuvre safely. All plans are delivered digitally and stored for reference or reuse across your programme.

BUILT FOR COMPLIANCE, DESIGNED FOR EFFICIENCY

Every plan is cross-checked for compliance with national guidelines and local authority conditions. Method statements and risk assessments are created in tandem with the design process, ensuring all documentation is aligned before work begins. Our planning and drawing teams work closely with clients and stakeholders to factor in every consideration – whether that’s public transport, emergency access, or simultaneous works in the area. It’s our job to ensure your site is safe, your permissions are secure, and your rollout runs on time.

Trusted by Clients Nationwide

On The Road To Safety Together

Morrison Utility Services, Wales & West

The whole team went the extra mile – especially on the High Profile Project at Draycott which involved a 40 mile diversion route. Their overall approach with the TM and stakeholder engagement on this project was commended as a very good example of how a project should be managed.

Glanville Environmental

Your onsite staff managed themselves in a very professional manner going the extra mile to accommodate the locals and visitors alike. You supplied each extra sign I requested by the following day and at no time did the complicated traffic light heads fail. The work Glanville’s undertook went to plan and programme and this was partly due to your team taking the burden of the traffic management off our hands in its entirety.

BBC England, Midlands & South

Thanks so much to you and your team for all your help with the road closure in Redruth for our event last Thursday. Your team were great, friendly and super helpful.
