How we work
One architect from survey to site
Our project management covers the whole process, from the first look at your building to supervising the work on site. We follow the building regulations throughout, so the work is safe, economical and environmentally friendly.
- 1
Survey the building
We look at the existing building's shape, condition and character, and talk through your budget and timescale.
- 2
Outline drawings
We prepare outline drawings of the design for you to comment on, in 3D where it helps you picture it.
- 3
Planning application
We submit the planning application and handle the planning permission, including any party wall agreements.
- 4
Drawings, schedules and contracts
Detailed drawings, plan schedules and building contracts, to the building regulations, plus local builders we recommend.
- 5
Supervision on site
We attend site and supervise the building work through to the day it is ready to use.
