/platform/landing-zones
Landing zones
Management group hierarchy, subscription topology and policy baselines that still hold once you're past the first ten workloads.
What we build
Six things we're asked for, over and over.
We don't sell transformation programmes. We take one part of your Azure estate, make it defensible, and leave the source behind so your engineers can change it without us.
/network/hub-spoke
Network & connectivity
Hub-and-spoke VNets, ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall and private endpoints. Traffic paths your team can draw on a whiteboard from memory.
/identity/entra-id
Identity & access
Entra ID tenancy, conditional access, PIM and workload identities. Least privilege that people can actually work inside.
/iac/bicep-terraform
Infrastructure as code
Bicep and Terraform modules, environment promotion and deployment pipelines. Every resource in the estate traces back to a file.
/migrate/assess-and-move
Migration
Assessment, wave planning and cutover for VMware estates, on-prem SQL and legacy .NET applications — including the ones nobody documented.
/cost/finops
FinOps & cost control
Tagging standards, budgets, reservations and rightsizing. We publish the spend before and after, on the same chart.
The quant part
We score your estate before we touch it.
Every engagement opens with a read-only assessment against the five pillars of the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework. You get a number per pillar, the evidence behind it, and the number we commit to reaching at handover.

How we work
Four phases. Fixed scope at each one.
You can stop after any phase and keep everything produced in it — the assessment, the design records, the code. Nothing is held back to secure the next stage.
Weeks 1–2 · Assess
Read your tenant
Read-only access, nothing changed. We map what exists, score it against the five pillars, and price the gap.
Weeks 3–5 · Design
Draw the target
Target architecture and decision records, reviewed line by line with your engineers before a single resource is deployed.
Weeks 6–17 · Build
Land it in code
We build alongside your team in your repositories. Pull requests, not slide decks. You review and merge everything.
Final 2 weeks · Hand over
Then we leave
Runbooks, dashboards and a working session with every on-call rota. Thirty days of support, then the platform is yours.
Outcomes
Numbers our clients can verify in their own portal.
£1.4m
Annual Azure spend removed across the last twelve engagements.
20+
Landing zones designed and delivered since 2019.
99.98%
Platform availability across estates we handed over last year.
11 days
Median time from signed scope to first deployed environment.

A two-week assessment tells you what you're running, what it costs, and what it would take to make it defensible. Fixed fee, read-only access, no commitment to anything after it.
