How We Work

Ideas & Concept Design
Step 01 Ideas and Measured Survey

We offer free, no obligation meetings with clients at the start of any residential architecture project. Here, we’ll discuss your requirements and ideas. We’ll then carry out a full measured survey of the property prior to preparing the concept design drawings.

Developing the design and planning
Step 02 Concept Design

Upon completion of the measured survey we will prepare the concept design drawings based on our discussions and the brief provided. In many cases client request 3D sketches so that they can visualise the end result.

Planning
Step 03 Planning

Once a design has been agreed we will prepare all the drawings and documents required for a planning application. Once an application has been submitted we are in regular contact with the planning department to enable as swift and straightforward a planning approval as possible.

Technical Drawings
Step 04 Technical Drawings

Almost all building work requires building control approval. We produce a full set of technical drawings that comply with current regulations and are suitably detailed for the builder. We will guide you through the building control process and supply any additional information required.

On-Site Support
Step 05 Construction and On-Site Support

We will assist you with obtaining competitive tenders from contractors, review their proposals, and provide guidance during the selection process. We also offer an on-site inspection service where we make regular site visits. We'll ensure everything is built according to the drawings and the workmanship is of a high standard.
