Foggo Associates has developed extensive expertise in ensuring that the archaeological impact of schemes is fully analysed at an early stage in the design process. This ensures that the substructure of projects can be designed with full cognisance of any archaeology, and any necessary archaeological investigations are accommodated early on in the construction programme allowing proper archaeological evaluation to take place and minimising the risks to the development programme.
The site at 111 Old Broad Street, was formerly occupied by part of a medieval Friary, which was destroyed around the time of the Reformation. Much of the archaeological potential of the site had been destroyed by subsequent developments on the site, however the substructure of the building was designed to avoid disturbing an area over the Friary cemetery. All the necessary archaeological investigations were accommodated without delay to the construction programme, allowing fragments of the original Friary's foundations to be discovered and recorded.

The site of 280 Bishopsgate at Spitalfields was formerly occupied by a medieval burial site. Extensive archaeological investigations had to be accommodated prior to commencement of the construction works.
