We provide architectural concept drawings that can include a variety of media such as 2D/3D drawings, interactive 3D CGI drawings and even virtual reality. The stage will include client design reviews.

We split this stage into two parts, starting by testing the architectural concept. To do this, we assist in undertaking design studies, engineering analysis and cost exercise, including the appointment of third party specialist consultants where necessary.

Once the concept is proven, we provide a complete planning service that includes production of drawings and other required documentation, followed by the administration of the planning application until determination.

In this stage, we take pride in producing clear technical drawing packages compliant with the latest UK building regulations that include a variety of drawings and specifications. We also obtain approval of these drawings by building control prior to works starting on site.

We also produce other detailed design, such as lighting layouts, interior design, schedules of manufactured components and many more.

Importantly, this stage includes tendering the building works. Various pieces of documentation, such as a schedule of works enable a smooth tender and the informed selection of a contractor.

Its is at this stage when other consents are obtained, such as Party Wall awards, utilities, discharge of planning conditions etc.

As the contract administrator, we provide a fair and impartial service that includes preparing the all important building contract, carrying out regular site inspections to ensure that the works built to spec, are delivered on time and the project is kept within budget.

Once the construction phase has reached practical completion, the building handover will commence and will include rectifying defects, concluding the building contract, providing information regarding seasonal commissioning and ensuring that all planning conditions have been complied with.

Services required as part of any ongoing (long-term) use activities are sometimes required, for example energy-efficiency monitoring, and long-term building performance reviews.
