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.

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.
