Our Process

From the initial enquiry to project completion, our process is designed to ensure client satisfaction and project success. Here's how we work:

Initial Enquiry and Site Visit

We arrange a meeting on-site to discuss the potential, planning constraints, and client's vision. This helps us develop a tailored brief. During the site visit, we take the time to understand the unique characteristics of the site and the surrounding environment. This allows us to create designs that are not only beautiful but also contextually appropriate and sensitive to the local environment.

Fee Proposal

We provide a detailed fee proposal outlining all required services, timescale, and fees. Our fee proposals are transparent and comprehensive, ensuring that our clients have a clear understanding of the scope of work and associated costs. We believe in building trust through honesty and integrity, and our fee proposals reflect this commitment.

Initial Drawings

Once appointed, we deliver initial drawings within a few weeks, depending on the project's scale and complexity. Our initial drawings are a crucial step in the design process, providing a visual representation of the proposed design and allowing for feedback and revisions. We work closely with our clients to ensure that the initial drawings accurately reflect their vision and aspirations.

Pre-Planning Process

• Crystallizing the client's brief, aspirations, project objectives, and outcomes.

• Drafting initial ideas and sketches based on extensive knowledge and in-depth research of planning policies.

• Developing a design that suits both the client's and planning authority's requirements.

• Submitting the final planning application.

Our pre-planning process is thorough and meticulous, ensuring that all aspects of the project are carefully considered and addressed. We take the time to understand the planning policies and regulations that apply to each project, ensuring that our designs are compliant and have the best chance of approval.

Post-Planning Process

• Technical design.

• Assistance with the Tender Process.

• Compliance with CDM regulations.

• Submission and liaison with Building Control authorities and other consultants.

• Site inspections and contract administration to ensure quality, progress, and compliance with regulations.

Our post-planning process is designed to ensure that the project is executed to the highest standards. We provide comprehensive technical design services, ensuring that every detail is meticulously planned and executed. We assist with the tender process, helping our clients select the best contractors and suppliers for their project. We ensure compliance with CDM regulations, protecting the health and safety of everyone involved in the project. We liaise with Building Control authorities and other consultants to ensure that all necessary approvals are obtained. We conduct regular site inspections and provide contract administration services to ensure that the project is progressing as planned and that the quality of work meets our high standards.
