Our Services

We offer a comprehensive service from project inception to completion, and our experienced team will work closely with you to understand your specific needs and requirements. Our services include:

Stage 1: Define and Design Briefing

Our starting point is gaining a full understanding of your specific needs and requirements. Through a series of discussions with you, we will uncover the key issues driving the project and refine your priorities by design. This stage is crucial in underpinning the entire design process.

Stage 2: Develop Scheme Drawings and Planning Approvals

We will develop your preferred sketch scheme into more accurate drawings suitable for submission to the local planning authority for planning consent or a certificate of lawful development for permitted development projects.

Stage 3: Document and Detail Building Regulations Drawings and Approval, Specification and Schedule of Work

Securing Building Regs approval before starting on site helps minimize risk, so we create detailed drawings covering structural aspects, plumbing and drainage, electrics, and so forth, and submit them for approval. We will also prepare a detailed specification describing materials and workmanship standards for your project, as well as a schedule of work describing key aspects of the build.

Stage 4: Deliver Tendering, Contract Administration and Site Inspection

We will carry out a competitive tender process to a series of contractors, supplying each with the drawings, spec, and schedule. We can prepare the contract documentation and act impartially in administering the building contract between client and contractor if you wish. We can make monthly site inspection visits and issue payment certificates, ensuring you only pay for work that has been properly executed, and that any necessary changes to the scope or specification are handled fairly.
